I’ve been considering adding tinted tail lights to my BMW, but I’m not quite sure where to start. I’m really interested in the aesthetic improvement it would bring, as well as any practical insights from those who have experience with this modification. Here are some specific questions I have:

Installation Process

  • DIY or Professional?: Is this something I can tackle myself, or should I take it to a professional? What tools or materials would I need for a DIY project?

Product Recommendations

  • Best Products: Are there specific brands or products that you’ve found to work well? I’m looking for something that’s high quality and durable.

Legal Considerations

  • Regulations: Are there any legal concerns I should be aware of when it comes to tinted tail lights? Do different countries or states have varying laws?

Visuals and Experience

  • Before and After: If you’ve done this modification, I’d love to see some photos of your before and after. What was your experience with the end result?

I appreciate any input you all have! Looking forward to hearing everyone’s experiences and tips!

Check your local laws! In some states, tinted tail lights can lead to fines, while others don’t have strict regulations. Always better to play it safe!

[quote=“yolandacruz, post:2, topic:3936”]Check your local laws…[quote] I’m in California, and I know they can be pretty strict about modifications. I’ve heard of people getting pulled over just for tints!

I’ve seen some BMWs with tinted tail lights around here, and they look awesome! Just make sure you check if you need to swap them out for inspections.

True! In Florida, they allow some tinting, but you might need to remove it for inspection. It’s really a hassle sometimes.

Remember to consider how tinted lights affect visibility. Safety is key, and you wouldn’t want to compromise that for aesthetics.

I love the look of tinted lights, but I’ve been warned that if you get pulled over, it could lead to hefty fines. Has anyone experienced that?

I actually got pulled over in Texas because of mine. I only had to pay a warning, but I would consider it risky.

10

In some places, cops might overlook tinted tail lights if you’re respectful. But be prepared, as it can be inconsistent!

11

How dark is too dark? There’s a thin line between stylish and illegal. Anyone have advice on choosing shades to stay legal?

12

I got medium tint on mine and haven’t had issues. Just make sure to check the local regulations first!

13

I’ve seen some websites claiming they have legal tints. Anyone know if those truly work?

14

I would recommend checking if they have certifications or customer reviews. That might save you from getting fined.

15

Sometimes I wonder if getting tinted tail lights is worth the risk. It can look great, but is it truly worth the trouble?

16

Honestly, it can be fun, but keep in mind that maintaining a car that gets more attention from the law isn’t always easy! Just my two cents.

17

If you’re looking for quality products, I’d recommend the Vvivid Vinyl tint. It’s durable and offers a great finish for BMW tail lights.

18

I second that! Vvivid Vinyl is easy to work with if you’re going the DIY route. Just make sure to prep the surface well!

You could also check out Lamin-X. They make pre-cut kits specifically for BMWs, which can save you a lot of hassle when installing.

Lamin-X is a good option too! I love the custom fit they provide. Just remember, installation can be a bit tricky.
