Blacked out tailights look
I have finally blacked out my tail lights. I was waiting for someone to do it on here but I guess I am the first one
I also tinted the side and rear marks. Looks really sharp!! |

Im sorry to sound dumb, but how do you black them out? Is it film over the lights? Painting them?

I am not so sure, I think it is 10%? The guy that did it for me didn't really tell me how much light it goes through. He just cut out a small piece of film of two shades and I chose the darkest shade since the lighter shade didn't look like it had a tint on the taillights.

Looks nice, but I do have to ask...
So what happens when someone rear-ends you, and argues that they couldn't see your dimmed tail lights? (it's a hypothetical, hope it never happens). |

haha.... when I had my 328i, i had blacked out tail lights and got into accident but they never seem to argue that issue... plus the LED tail lights should show a lot of light compared to the regular bulbs in the F30.

i have my rear tails blacked out on my alpine white as well.
I don't dig the look during the daylight as much, but it looks amazing at night. It tones down the light and makes it look very deep. It is bright enough too. |
