question about making bmw headlights flush

ok i'm fixin to order some bmw headlights from ebay, and i've seen several topics about the wade covers to make them flush but i can't find where to get them at, i've done searches everywhere but can't find anything. And yes, i know i should donate 20 dollars to search the forum but i can't do that when i click donate and it said that i do not have enough privelages, so i dunno about that one, anyways can someone point me towards the wade covers

well seeing how i need the search option i don't think donating to you would help

well i kinda like smoked lights so i might try those out first, seeing how my wheels are graphite with aluminum in the spokes, i might try those cause it might go better, but never know, oh, and i can't find headlights on ebay that are just the headlights, all the dang things have corner lights on them, unless they just are screwed on or something, lol

umm if you get smoked it defeats the purpose of doing BMW lights.

1. Your light output increase you would get from BMW lights are gone because the light through the smoke covers are dim.

2. No one would ever know you had BMW lights because the smoke covers would hide them.

Just sit and think about it for a minute.

and why would you buy BMW covers when the lens on the BMW is already shaped to fit the BMW. The purpose of buying Maxima covers is because its shaped the same as the Max and when you mate the cover to the BMW lights it makes it look like it was made for the Max.

yea i didn't think the cover question through, lol

i wasn't sure how dark the smoked would be, i figured it'd be just a little tinted, not like black outs
