318is 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2005 (edited) Getting the tint to stick would be a real problem, not to mention moisture and heat from the bulbs, I would say 100% failure and looking cheap and crappy would be worse. Nothing stopping you picking up some second hand ones and experimenting I guess. Edited January 9, 2005 by 318is Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aliluya 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2005 Use a good quality tint that is durable and use a heat gun to apply it ... if it is applied well it can look mint ... my brother used to do it for people .... but how legal it is now i don't know ...

bumpstop325 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2005 from a WOF point of veiw, lens must not be altered in anyway. the only around this is to buy smoked lens it self. also the lights need to be visable a minimum of 100m aswell they need a reflector that is visable.

bmwsparkle 3 Report post Posted January 9, 2005 theres always the option of buying smoked lights, but they can sometimes cost you $$$, i myself couldnt justify spending heaps on a cosmetic mod like that. Ive heard of a spray on tint, which some people have used. Hav a look on US forums eg dtmpower.net, im sure quite a few have smoked their lights that way.

Tim, are your lights visible from 100m??? Hmmm, I think not hahaha Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest WAGON Report post Posted January 10, 2005 do facelift lights fit the touring or is it a different shape looking at them they look the same but havnt really checked to far Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bimmer boy 21 Report post Posted January 10, 2005 no facelift lights wont fit in a touring (i assume ur touring isnt facelift) cos if u look at a face lift light its higher and it has a angled bit take a closer look at this pic in comparison to your car Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gus 5 Report post Posted January 10, 2005 all tourings are facelift......they should fit, i dont see why they would have diff lights for touring and sedan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
