Does look good. I would stick with black line for me too as I have the shadow sport look already. This would just add a distinct flair to my car.

Now that I've seen them on the white and while the colours of the tails work, the GTS light design in the dark line, for me, doesn't work on the lighter car.

Aliexpress is significantly cheaper than the UK ebay sellers for what looks like the same product, but won't you have to pay import duty?

When are you likely to receive them? Please keep us updated

20% VAT on top of the price on Ali - still a few hundred less than ebay!

I should get mine in 10 days - however i ordered a Ross tech clone off Ali last week from China (for my Audi) and it arrived within 5 days - so hoping they arrive before the BH weekend for me to fit them!!

Not sure about that, the link above for aliexpress shows the cost as £663 + 20% VAT, you're looking at close to £800, not that far off the eBay sellers.

Lights now available from an amazon seller, so at least you have some backup in case the product doesn't live up to expectations.
I think these are the same as the ones sold on ebay/Aliexpress

That listing says non MOT. Not sure if that means it's not compliant or not applicable

none are probably MOT compliant - doubt they would fail as long as they light up correctly as the rear bumper has a reflector.

The amazon seller is 2-3 weeks dispatch - does that mean its shipped from china like the aliexpress ones?

Yes. I have often ordered from Chinese sellers on amazon. No import duty to worry about and unlike ebay, any issue was sorted quickly as you are protected by amazon. That said, I don't know what would happen if some of the leds fail after a year. Not that I heard issues reported for the f30 version though

499 is a bargain, would have gone for these over the blackline's if I was buying now.

Yes, £500 sounds reasonable - I don't see why the F30 version would be cheaper than 4-series as I suspect only the casing is different. Perhaps I will wait a few months and the price will come down
