Painted headlight reflector covers?

Anyone have whole front pics of them on a jet black E90? Trying to decide if I hate my reflectors $200 worth. Thanks.

FWIW - I have been considering these as well for my SG E90. This weekend I installed some tint on the headlights, and no longer feel the need to cover up the reflectors. The tint dulled the orange out quite a bit and they look good now.

I have some pictures towards the end of my mod diary.

Hmm...now that I see the picks that he just put up, I am glad I went with the tint instead. Personal preference all the way, but I don't like the gaps. Nick, do you guys sell the headlight tint too? I know you carry some Bimmian products (pretty sure these covers are) and they are where I picked up the tint.

I feel the same way about the gaps... 335iPaul, does the tint change the color apperance of the lights or their useful output?

Hi Paul,

We don't carry the tint unfortunately.
