HELP with smoking taillights in Europe

brbarlow145 · 07-06-2010, 05:39 PM

I need some help. I've used a product in the US called Nite Shade which is an aerosol used to smoke taillights. However, I'm now in Europe (Switzerland to be exact) and cant seem to find a product to smoke my 330d taillights with here. Anyone know of any products in Switzerland that I could use? THANKS!

You can purchase tail light tint film to apply to the factory tails, we offer them in a light or dark smoke.

Remember that your car will fail inspection in Europe unless the product or fil is approved - and it isn't.

hummm... I didn't know it would fail inspection. Will all blackened taillights fail, regardless if it isn't overly dark?

How much does this cost and is it permanent? Thanks

Drop me a PM and I can help out, it is not permanent and fully reversible.

AFAIK, the inspection is every two years and, unless the tinted tails approved by the manufacturer, the car will fail - regardless of the amount of tint. The paint you were using is permanent while the film overlays are temporary.

Don't forget that the Swiss gendarmes can stop you as well and deadline your car until it is fixed - especially if you are a foreigner.
