I'm looking to smoke out my tail lights (red part) what is the best way to do this. I have heard about using film, paint or a spray. what would work best?

I went with film. Haven't put it on yet, but will give it a try when I get it. Got it from here:
http://www.topvinylfilms.com/catalog...ilms-81-1.html I plan on tinting on the rear turn signals red. Not sure how it will turn out though but just another mod to try and is the reason I selected film, just in case it looks bad. :) |
I used Lamin-x tint overlays. I opted to do the whole light, signal and all. On Black it looks perfect. I have some pics somewhere that I can upload later. I like the Lamin-x because I can take it off if I do have a problem. I had it on my old e36 for my french fogs, and it held up great.

Thanks. |
I used film as well. All you need is a hairdryer or heat gun and patience. I did my tails, bumper and fender reflectors, side turn signals. Pretty happy with the results. I just bought some film off ebay.

got any pics of the finished project ? |
Did the ebay film as well, only 7$ Ebay item
Just put it on the whole tail light and then cut free the white area of the blinker and reverse light. Result came out pretty nice. Yes and a hairdryer helps a lot. Just take it slow, the first one is the hardest. |
local tint shop quoted me $100 to do just the red area of the rear tail lights, might just do it myself.

i've got some pics of the tails I did plus reflectors and side turn signals (or whatever they are called). I did them cause I had enough leftover to go ahead and wrap them https://5series.net/forums/topic/121...-new-roundels/ |
Have anyone done any tinting or similar to the headlight eyebrows ?
