That's so funny that you did this too. Member poleposition and I are having these mesh grills painted black as well. Looks like great minds think alike. :thumbup:
TEFF - Here's my review on my lights, based on the PM you sent me. This mentions ALL the lighting mods I did to my car.:thumbup:

The GP Thunders are ok. Since I upgraded my headlights and fogs to 6000K, the GP Thunders don't look as "white". However, when they are on as just as the daytime running lights and no other lights are on, they look great. The White halo's give a nice contrast to the all black front. I also use the GP Thunders on my M5 and get compliments on them on that car too. for $15, you can't beat it. The other alternative is HID or LED's, which will run you around $200, as opposed to $15 for the GP's.
As for tinting the tails, I had them professionally sprayed by my body shop guy. He takes the lights out and does this whole big process to make it perfect. He does all the work on my cars, including my M5 and I strongly suggest taking your car to someone similar. With all the bumps and curves in the light, I wouldn't attempt it yourself, especially since the X5 rear lights are 2 pieces.
