Go with OEM Blacklines...can sometimes find them used on here for $200-$250. Here's a pic of my E90 with them. Good luck!

You want my blacklines? I'm going back to stock. You have any friends in NorCal that are driving to you any time soon? Locals $200, for shipping I gotta ask post office how much cuz it's four small separate boxes, maybe I find a big one to fit all.
Pics of my rear are here. http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=724724 |

I prefer blacklines over LCI taillights.
If you have a darker car, you may prefer DEPO because they are smoked more than the OEM ones. My bro has an alpine white e90, has OEM blacklines and the car looks great. I have a sparkling graphite metallic e90, have DEPO blacklines, and looks amazing. Just all depends on what color car IMO.

I have OEM tails and my buddy has DEPO and pretty much its the same ish. I paid the same as him but I got mine used. Go for the OEM though if you can afford it, its not too much more anyways.

I went with OEM. They do look a bit lighter out of the box, but once installed (on a black/dark car) they look much darker. I'm happy with them, and personally like them more than LCI tails.

I went with smoked DEPO blacklines. I've had no issues with them at all and saved a bunch of money from OEM. They fit, and look great.
I'll get some pics when the sun comes out...

Once I checked out the LCI's up close I really liked them, they look much better in person than they do in pics, and to me the blacklines just look dated, and kind of cheap, they remind me of the 90's ''euro light trend'' that was all the rage with honda's. Besides LED's are the way to go.
