Hey guys. I've been wanted to do this mod for a very long time. I was just afraid to mess the paint on OEM tail lights. Honestly, I wanted to get a aftermarket tail lights and paint them, but couldn't find a cheap pair. So, two days ago, I just got up painted both tail lights myself for around $15. However, I'm not confident with the mod... Did I took away the classyness of the BMW? Guys, let me know what you think ![Smile](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/smile.gif)

looks good! But why not tint them instead of painting them? Looks the same IMO I have mine tinted btw and you can take it off easily if you don't like the look but painting them is permenant, either way it looks nice
