Yeh , Vinney and I ordered together and 1 of the 4 lights was slightly cracked. Vinney sent him an email straight away and it was shipped out that day. Turned up in 5 days. All had blue film on them.

That's sick bro!

By the looks of it you you unscrew the bolts, pull out the old and pop in the new. Looks easy unless I'm missing something.

Sorry mate, I misread what you wrote. As for the DIY, it's just a matter of removing the plastic in the centre of the boot to get access to the carpet on both sides. There are a few plastic tab screws that pop out to get access to the rear of the light. There are 3 screws and I think 2 plugs on each of the lights. Once you look inside you'll see what I'm on about. It's relatively easy.

hmmm do tail lights like these exist for E87? could be a viable option instead of tinting them, if they have enough darkness to them :?:

They do! IIRC the first blackline series was made for the e87 in 2006ish (e90 one was 2nd! :P)

edit: Are you LCI or pre-LCI?

prelice - http://www.babybmw.net/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=13558 and http://www.schmiedmann.com/1_series/...tors/page2.htm

lci - http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?s...9437286&type=1 and http://www.schmiedmann.com/1_series/...tors/page2.htm

edit 2: send Danny an email and see what price he can do. (just to level the playing field! )

Tinting tail lights is such a QLD thing to do

haha howso?

doesn't strike me as anything different to window tinting, other than it's entirely cosmetic rather than functional... similar to replacing your tail lights with blackline ones
