This OEM tail light has been stored in a box for many years because the previous owner of the BMW installed facelift rear tail lights on the car years ago. So these have not seen typical wear and tear. Still VERY shiny finish. No cracks or noticeable scratches at all. The foam backing is like new with no deterioration. Original to a 1998 540i. Captive studs. Nuts not included. See my auction for the left driver side match
