I was actually looking to get my tail lights tinted, not windows

but went to the shop, they told me they don't tint tail lights.............. and I just suddenly make up my mind and wanted to tint my windows

and here we are

Looks great. But I'd tint the tails too. Looks badass on white

Actually I like non-tinted tail lights on White E60s, only tint lights on darker color cars if you really have to. Just wait until the updated 2008 tail lights are availible from the dealer.

Yea I'll be searching for a more doable option, i don't wanna go by painting it
I want something I can pill off easily

tail light vinyls should do, just need to find some darker ones, anyone know where i can get my hands on some good ones?

I looked for the ones you can apply yourself, but only found ones that tint the white indicator portion of the lights (my LED's already have that portion smoked). If you find any, let me know!

I believe it's not very possible to find anyones that only covers the red part

I talked to one tint shop around here, they said if you're only covering up to a portion of the light, the sun heat is gonns stretch and mess up the film in the future

because when you cover the whole thing, the messed up part is actually hidden inside the gaps between the light and the body

and he said he'd do a border around the part, not sure how it'll turn out to be, but it will be very "professionally done" according to him.

but a price of $150 to tint just the two tail lights kinda scared me away.......... considering that's the price i paid to tint all my windows


but if you wanna get it custom done by yourself, which is what I'm planning to do, refer to this thread

I paid $160 for my entire car. I think that's about right.

Here's where I got my tail tint from. Tail Tint

Sure, it's only the clear part (turn signal), but I think it looks badass. And if I don't want it anymore, I can heat it up and remove it. Although, I doubt that will ever happen. And for $20, you can't beat it.

Here's a picture of my rear. Judge for yourself. I get compliments all the time.

Not feeling the "grey" turn signals, hehe

If I can't find a good way to do it, i'll just leave it like that, it doesn't really bother me that much
