I did it to my rear lights and reflectors.

I like the look, but I didn't do the head lights.

Not sure I like them. I used to have tinted tails, just the red portion. Now I have LCI's and I really like the factory look of the red.

LOVE the tinted tail lights!!!
Not a fan of tinting the headlights, though. For one, I don't want to give the local Coppers a (big) reason to pull me over... :thumbsdown:
Even though it's OK in the U.K. (according to fly-eyes), I don't think it's gonna fly [pun intended... ] with the Cops here in Chicagoland.

Funny, you should ask... but I am actually waiting myself for my fly-eyes kit to arrive. Should be in the mail tomorrow... yay!

Even though the 5-Series tail lights look OK overall, I want mine to be darker - as the rest of my car already is Sapphire Black or Carbon Fiber-like. The red of the lights stand out too much IMO... or so I think. I guess, I will find out if I really like it on my car soon.

Nice modding job, tristan!
Was it difficult to get the film on?
Any advice for me, before I do the same thing soon??

Cheers,
Armin
