Anyway to brighten E90 LCI Tail Light Pipes?

Hey guys, Im debating on grabbing a set of blacklines or an LCI/Trunk & Lights upgrade.

The thing I dont get or that keeps me on the fence with the LCI Lights is how
dim they look. Is there any reason why the E92 LCI tails and E87 LCI tails
as well as the F30/F10 look so bright?

Comparison Below ( I know its just pics but its the same in person ) :

E87 Tails ( nice )



E92 Tails ( nice )



E90 Tails ( love the design but dim / not defined )



I tried to find the most accurate pictures I could, I know some its darker so you
can see them better but in real life they are dim. Is there any mod to brighten
these up? Im not looking for some obnoxious mod just to bring them up to par with the rest of the lineup.

F10 style lights exist for Pre-LCI E90s, but not for LCIs as far as I know:

One of my friend find the solution with 3M Matt film
and swap the original bulbs with bright led lamps. and it's looks fine. in day time and in night just fantastic.
With clear lines!!
One day i'll try to make mine like this..
the only think is for my opinion is the black colore for lights or wheels and so make car looks older!!
