Smoked tails

My search resulted in nothing so figured I ask...

Anyone else find the pre-LCI tails a little TOO red? I've been debating tinting my tails very lightly...maybe 50% or lighter even. Just looking to see if anyone else has done it. I just want it to look a little darker without looking too custom.

I was also considering swapping the tails for a LCI set...but since I tend to swap cars every few years, I might save those tails for the next car.

I had smoked taillight on my previous car, realized i like stock color better on every car i owned… except that time toyota had some pink on their taillights, not surprised that trend didnt stay too long.

If you like tinted look and had done it in the past, im sure u'll like the look on ur current car…

And as you said, if will switch to a new ride soon, no point on doing LCI conversion… better get other mods that can carry over to the Lci model like exhaust system etc

I hear you on the pre-LCI tails being big and red, although I thought they were fine until the LCI's came out and then the older ones were just haunting me and looked bigger and bigger and reder and reder every time I walked up.

I also hear you on weighing out the investment and the return if you don't keep your cars long. I usually don't either but tell myself with every new car I'm going to keep it for 10 years which in reality is 2-3.

All this said, I'm a compulsive idiot. I've put over $5,000 into my car in 5 months that I probably won't get back, but it makes me happy. I'll get some money back but it will involve a sell off.

Anyway, my advice, get the LCI tails and take them off and sell them on sale or trade. That's my plan or what I tell myself. Whether I'm too lazy to swap the old ones back in on trade remains to be seen. There will be a good market for these going forward, not so much the old ones. I'm keeping my old ones for this purpose. No one wants them anyway. I'm not into tinting. It's just not stock and self tinted tails stick out as much as big and red to me.

Lol! Happiness is key! I'm not usually into the smoking of lights either, though I thought a super light tint might just calm the red-ness down a little...and still kind of keep that stock appeal. I may end up doing what you did. After that video you sent me of your tails, I was soooo tempted but I know I'm going to get yelled at for spending more money on a car that I already spent a bunch of money on buying!! Maybe in a few months.

This doesn't look bad at all...really good actually. Its almost exactly what I was picturing in my head, but I wanted to try and cut out the reverse light to keep that white. Other than that, this tint might be what I end up doing. Decisions decisions!!!

They key is, don't tell! She won't even notice the new lights For me it's not the money I'll get shit about, it's the "I thought you said you were going to go all OCD this time?". I don't want to hear it.

The white car is 60%? Looks nice. I have a med blue M550 and have been debating about tinting my tails, but don't know how dark to make it. The LCI tail lights look amazing, but like some of you I WILL get yelled at for spending $1000+ on taillights…. . I promised I'd keep this one stock and I've so far "mostly" done that…

You make an excellent point sir, she probably wouldn't even notice LOL! She couldn't tell the difference when I swapped from the F10 to the G30 (both Alpine White), until she got into the car. I saw a 2018-2020 M5 yest with the Euro spec LCIs on the road. Very tempting and I do like the idea of removing them and getting a few dollars back on it after selling the car. Hmmmm

Thanks for the additional pics. Looks good. If I go this route, I may even consider going a tiny bit lighter even...maybe 70ish. I do love the LCI tails but I still like these tails too. Did you tint the bumper reflectors too or black them out? I can't tell from the pics. I think the brightness of the red becomes instantly noticeable for me every time I'm parked next to my wife's car. (I'm still riding around with that stupid CA paper window registration permit. They're taking forever to get my paperwork in for my real plates )

I'm a bad influence! I here you on women not noticing anything car related. Sometimes it's good for something like spending foolish money on lights, and sometimes it's frustrating when you get an entire new car and they say "it looks the same as your other one".

First the flag, then the floating center caps, now the tails!!! Maybe not a bad influence but an influence indeed

...but I love it and like you said, about making it you or me happy!

Gotcha, thanks! Well that fixes any issue with the reflectors potentially looking redder than the lights if tinted lol.

Thst looks excellent! Just black vinyl? Not exactly like LCI tails but very good abs way cheaper! What did you pay to get that done ?
