    Damn, they look really good mang. I have a friend that is experienced in tinting lights and I am going to have him do my E36. I figured with my ride being black it should look pretty good. Altough I do have clear corners, Those would probably look pretty good tinted too.

    If you dont to a ticket. I have similar tail lights, 6 months no tickets. Run your foglights daytime and the tail lights will glare light that way cops dont ticket you plus it looks good. Try it for yourself when you get your lights.

    Just because they are from Germany, doesn't make them better. You could have bought used tails/corners and tinted them yourself for much less just fyi.

    DIY is always cheaper, doesn't mean you should do everything DIY when you have no clue what you're doing.

    But once you learn, you will always be able to do it yourself.
