E90 Black Lines Tail Lights

Redadair · 03-10-2008, 09:55 PM

First off I want to say thanks to everyone on the comments about Black Lines. I just purchased and installed mine.

Photos along the way.

Very easy to install. ~30 Minute job.

Needed Items.

8mm socket

small extension and ratchet

Flat blade screwdriver

Before and After Photos

Be carful not to just pry out the plugs. Pull the center plug from the outer to loosen the plug then pull the whole plug out.

A few more photos.

They look good on red. Next step: black out that chrome window trim.

Sweet. Not a fan of red cars, but I like yours! What suspension is that ?

I just put mine on this past weekend, and it looks like my car lost weight! They go sooooo well with S.G.

Thanks for sharing the pics. I also installed Blacklines last week and it makes a huge difference. The hardest part of the install for me was getting the plugs in/out. I noticed the longer plugs were so much easier to work with than the short ones. For some reason I only had 2 long plugs and 6 short, is BMW that cheap to use the longer plugs?
