GTS-style full LED rear lights with smoked lenses for BMW 3 Series F30 sedan and M3 F80, with OLED-style red scales, sequential turn signals, and a welcome animation. They replace the stock rear lights (the original taillights) with a much more modern and aggressive design, install with a plug & play system without modifying the electrical installation, and have E-MARK / ECE approval. Not compatible with the F31 Touring.
📋 Description and main features
The GTS LED rear lights for BMW 3 Series F30, also known as GTS or OLED taillights, completely change the rear of the car. When off, the smoked lens darkens them and integrates them with the bodywork; when on, the 3D red scales create a light signature that is recognizable from many meters away at night. When the turn signal is activated, the amber bars light up sequentially from the inside out, a dynamic effect that also improves visibility at night. When opening the car, they perform a welcome animation. They are an aftermarket accessory designed for the F30 and M3 F80. DRX Parts is not affiliated with BMW.

❓ Quick FAQs
Are they original BMW lights?
No. They are aftermarket rear lights with a GTS-style design, made for the 3 Series F30 and M3 F80.
Are they only the taillights or also the headlights?
They are only the taillights. Each side has two pieces: one on the fender and one on the trunk lid, and the set includes both sides.
Do they fit my 3 Series Touring F31?
No. The Touring has a completely different tailgate and rear lights.
Do I have to cut wires?
No. They are plug & play and connect to the car's original connectors, without modifying the electrical installation.
Do these LED taillights pass the ITV?
They have E-MARK / ECE approval. We recommend keeping the invoice and packaging in case they ask for them.

Yes. The smoked lens only darkens the light when it is off; when on, the position and brake lights are seen in intense red.
