    Could anyone recommend a supplier for a clear indicator lights set for a E46 BMW Saloon? Have priced them from a main dealer and was told about €500 + VAT. Has anyone come across them cheaper in Ireland / online?

    After delivery your saving around €6 from the dealer.

    I was looking at a spurious set the other day (E36 ones) that cost about 40 quid. the quality was good and you wouldn't notice the difference between them and the OEM ones to be honest, talk to a motor factors about picking up some.:)

    You can defo get them cheaper at a factors.

    One last thing. Looking at the images of the lights it appears you will be able to see the bulb.

    I would suggest you purchase Osram Diadem bulbs to counteract the fried egg effect.

    I fitted spurious ones to a friends E46 saloon, and while they looked fine from the outside, the fit on the inside was crap. Try getting a decent brand at the very least if you're going to be cheap and not get the genuine ones - Depo and FK automotive are decent.

    Depo are the most common and best spurious make on the Irish market.

    Where abouts in the country are you and I can direct you to the nearest stockist.

    The In Pro brand (of spurious BMW lights) seem to be of good quality from what I have seen. I had a set on an e34. They were German made.
    Try:
    Otto in Raneleigh
    Motormec in UK
    BM Town in UK
    Cooks Ferry Eng
    C3 BMW in UK
    or for 2nd hand genuine items:
    Quarry Motors in UK

    There are loads more places in the UK & they will all deliver to Ireland, I have used a few of above.

    Ring P R Reilly in Kilbarrack. They will have them for you at a good price.
