Roundie tail lights

[Guest Anonymous]

I have been searching for tail lights reconditioning with no success. I notice they cost more than I can afford right now, is it possible to get them re chromed. Thanks all for your feedback.

What parts are you looking to get rechromed? Just the outer rings? Sure they can be rechromed but I doubt you'd save any money over new. If you are talking about the inner divider strips on the lenses, try to polish them with 0000 grade steel wool.

It might be better to just find a nicer used set from a FAQer with a WTB advert.

I want to rechrome the outer ring. The inner is fine.

New outer rings from BMW look to be ~$80 a pop...you might be able to use your cores and have them re-chromed if you have a shop that will do the work nearby. On the other hand, brand new is less hassle.

We can supply those rings if you are interested right now they are a bit above $90 each. It's a better idea than having them re-chromed if you ask me.

You can try the wool and auto polish to give them a little more shine but if they are pitted/rusted or just started loosing the chrome there is nothing else to do but purchase new ones or re-chrome those ones.

You can order the tail light trim rings at any local BMW dealer and not pay freight.

Make a friend with the parts mgr, or if you are a BMW CCA member you will

get a discount.

I had looked into getting mine re-chromed. Because they are a cast metal the cost to re-chrome was going to be more than the cost to buy new ones.

I notice dealer price is 84 bucks, I am going to order from my local dealer. Thank you.
