    Two different style tail lights on my car

    We noticed there two different style of tail lights on our M Coupe. One has red/white stripes where the other has all white. I don't think this is normal but couldn't find an explanation of the difference. Both have BMW logo molded into them. Any ideas?

    Is one side a reversing light and the other a rear fog light?

    Not totally sure. I don't think the M Coupe has rear fog light. For sure doesn't have front.

    Good question, all the searches I did come up with the red stripe tails, not the all white.

    OK further investigation reveals 2 different sets of white indicator tails, but both were used on 2.8, and 3.0 and M Coupes.

    No red stripes -> 63218399604, 63218399603
    Red stripes -> 63 21 2 497 681, and 63 21 2 497 682

    Makes the car more unique - you can probably call it a 1-of-1 and add $10k to the value!
