Smoke tail lights install and %?

Frank2808 · 11-14-2008, 11:31 AM

Hi guys,

I'm thinking about having my tail lights smoked. I have the windows at 25%. What is a good % for the tail lights? Obviously, I want it dark but not too dark for safety reasons. Also, did you have it done at a tint shop? Or did you buy the kit from modbargins? How was the install?

Thanks!!

They don't make blacklines for the E92... I would go light smoke, any darker looks tacky to me.

I'm not sure what percent, but there was a option of dark and light, I got the light one. My guess is it's 30%.

Who typically does the smoking and what's involved? Do the whole light housings need to be removed and taken apart?

I've been thinking of going light smoke, but leaving my reverse light section clear.

Spydeputy · 11-16-2008, 07:55 AM

the lite smoke is cool w/ that color
