My Ride: '06 530xi Jet Black
Hey everyone,
In my obvious attempt to black everything out I was wondering if anyone had some nice tinted taillight pictures. I can't find a place that will do it here (just moved to PA for 5 months) and they all suggest "spray." I want to have film over it instead with possibly the white uncovered. I sorta want to blackout this car, but not sure of a murder blackout
. Unfortunately I have no pictures of the backside of my car and I am too lazy to go take one.
FYI: Car is Jet Black

DIY Very easy I can give you instructions. do you have a Napa Auto Parts there with a paint dept?
Looks much darker in the daylight. Not really that dark. The rear is 2 shades darker than the rear.

Using static cling window tint its very smooth the only problem is the stupid bump in the middle. Its hard and takes patience. Go get the tint at walmart for $5 just wet the light with warm soapy water apply the static tint and use your fingers to even out the bubbles. Bubbles that remain will go out in a few days/weeks.

Since those photos I have redone my lights with a VERY light tint. I personally didn't like the dark tint. On the surface the people did a great job. However a year later i found that they did not prep the light correctly and so I would have done a better job. And so a year later i took at it. If you see my Headlight Restoration DIY, it's the same process. I'll be posting a painting DIY up one of these days.
