blackline taillights for coupe?

[fatjoez]

Just wondering what options there are for getting blackline style tail lights for the 1 series coupe?

Cause the tailights are just too bright red on say black colour body..

BMW does not produce blacklines for this car but you can use tint film to get a similar look.

They make it for the 1 series hatch, but nothing for the US

there are cars without actual red on their tails. however no matter what light setting you have your car set on the tail lights are always on, so im sure if that did happen, it wouldn't actually go through imo.

Im not sure of the tint percentage, its a very thick tint, much different from actual window tint. Its pretty much the same thing used as the amber delete tint mod.

Some people use spray tint or actually paint them, which imo is a bad idea, because say you do get some jerked off cop that wants to give you everything he can. You can either A. Remove them easily within 5-10 Minutes. or B. buy brand new tail light lenses.

btw, you do have the option to have the white part cut out, however i wouldnt recommend doing this unless you dont mind paying a huge amount, or custom ordered these cut for that specific purpose. if not the tint shop actually uses a thin blade on your actual tail-light, even though you cannot see this score mark, you will be able to if for some reason you remove the tint.

ignore my salt infested car!


Left = Sunny with no clouds, in slight shadow.
Middle = Raw Sun (sorry just sprayed my car with some water and whiped down the immediate area
right = no tint in the summer when my baby is happy
i really wish i could of washed my car lol. looks about 10x better washed. its a very clean tint , and i love the look of it. I've gotten a TON of compliments on them too cause of how the lights look going through it.
damn salt!
