Thanks to last weekend at the American Car Show & Tuning Car Show in Helsinki, I ended up ordering new tail lights for my car.
I've heard lots of comments before that I should update my tail lights to LCI lights (or lookalike LCIs), but I haven't been interested until I saw these lights in a fellow E60 owner's car.

The pic isn't very good but they looked amazing in real life :

You should have told me you wanted such a set. I have a Brand New one in my garage that has never even been installed. I bought it just to test the cables that I used to make for these.

These do look good. But I am wondering if the same effect could be done with a spray. I mean on LCI lights of course. It seems as though the edges are darker than the center. Like a fade of sorts. Hmm...

I don't know about tinting, I wanted these immediately when I saw them .

Here's couple of more pics:

HA!!! Those are the same ones I have Antti, they do look pretty good - especially for 1/4 the cost of LCI tails.
