getting my taillights smoked
 

Im gonna be getting my tail lights tinted tomorrow at winners window tint in maryland. my friend got his tails tinted from there too and they look good. sorry for the teaser but ill post pics wen i get home tomorrow

What % are you getting??

How does the tint hold up in the weather?
I wanted to get the film but my tint man said it will just come off in a couple of months.

My tint guy said the same thing...:(

One of the techs that i worked with got the taillights on his E30 tinted at the body shop. I guess they sprayed a mix of clear with black in it until they looked right, or so i remember. They looked great and have held up fine for years. Just another option...

My son did that with his 525i that he inherited from me. He painted over the clears I had put on the car and did a pretty crappy job of it. From about 2 ft away, you can see all the bubbles in the paint. Nice job, son.

My experience is that smoked or tinted tail lights = more rear-end collisions

Go for it. Here's a pic of Izzy's X5 after the custom tint.

I'm sure this is true during the day.
But at night, my tinted aftermarket lights are much brighter than my oem non-tinted lights were.

Just seems that the aftermarket lights have a much bigger bulb.
