I haven't but would love to. I do not like how bright the eyebrow looks on my car against the black paint. Other than putting the film on the light and then carefully cutting at the eyebrow line I don't know how you would just tint the eyebrow. And I really dont' want to be using a knife on my headlights.

whats up man...if you are gonna do some tint film yourself, make sure to buy some extra material to practice first.... I just did this to my 535 this weekend (used RVinyl tint). I'm a 1st time installer, I have no prior experience in putting on any type of tint..... so, in conclusion....all you need is tint film, razor (or exacto knife, box cutter, etc.), and a heat gun (hair dryer), plus it would be good if you have application solution.... and a LOT OF PATIENCE. Anyway... I had 4 sheets of film total....1 for each taillight, plus + 2 extra for practice......the first film I worked with came out like butt (air bubbles, creasing of the film, all kinds of crazy stuff), however I felt more comfortable with application......then I wasted 2 more sheets because I overheated the film in certain spots and made holes...... however by then, I was playing with it for around 2 hours, so by now, with my last piece of film, I decided just to waste it for the purpose of practice...and guess what? it came out perfect....i can now order the film again (more likely will get a darker shade this time)...after I got done, I ripped it off, because i wasn't going to leave only one tinted taillight on the car....
so, hopefully this little essay will help you to prepare yourself for this, if this will be your first time installing it....the place i ordered the film from RVinyl has really nice instructional vidoes on their website...if you're interesed, you should check it.

Check out this post I put up. Can't go wrong with my buddy. He's already sold some to members on this forum and they loved his work.
