    What options are there for tail lights?

    I think the tail lights are the single item that dates the e46.

    It looks like the only options are euro RCR and Eagle LEDs, right? I don't like either; they still seem "old" to me.

    Are there any other options out there?

    Huh? I think the E46 has one of the best taillight designs of any car...

    ^ This. If anything, the Eagle Eyes look even more dated since they are based on lights from from an even older car (pre-facelift E46).

    It's not the car you drive, it's how you drive it.

    theres really not much else out there. i recently found out through research the eagle eye LED tail lights, the LEDs specifically, tend to burn out after a year or two and guys are either junking them or replacing the LEDs. for $250-280 for a set, that doesnt seem worth the hassle or the amount of money they are worth.


    you could always go with some eBay altezzas haha

    Sorry, I should have been a bit more clear.

    I think the light pattern they put out at night looks really dated. It's basically just a light bulb. Everything now has cool out lines and shapes.

    During the day light hours, yes they look just fine, especially in euro RCR.

    I guess there aren't many options out there. Oh well!
