Mine likes it dirty! hahah....
the clears that I had originally started to peel out so I took them off... I am going to rip open the housing (carefully) and paint the innards black so that they match the bimmer lights better...

I saw that on that light blue max from england... it looks 1000x better then the regular clears...

I was thinking about doing this. One of my clears are already splitting. What kind of paint do you use? And do you paint the silver or the lens?

I am actually not sure what paint to use... It would need to be a high temp paint as the lights in there get darn hot!

I would be painting the white part of the housing... the len's it's self stays normal...

it looks smooth!!! I love my car right now!!!

Are you talking about the gray trim along the top of the light about the lens or the inside of the light? I thought the inside of the corner light silver? Is there a way to make the silver reflector inside look like its "smoked"? Kinda like the 2k1 AE headlights. I've seen a 4th gen at maxus that had the inside corners of the headlight painted black. It looked really good.

thats not how its done

UK maxes have smoked corners. I thinks your talking about Stu's right?
they are not painted. a better way would be to get some tint ant your auto store and just tint the clears. thats what im gonna do when I fix my SE Ive done it to a freinds car. It make the bmw lights blend in way better. use like 50% to 35% tint

I loved his car. I thought those corners were bad ****! you think that I should tint the silver inside, the inside of the lens, or the outside of the lens? I think that is a great Idea... also do you think i could do the same thing and tint my tail lights? I was thinking about black-out paint, but I thought that tinting them would work too...

personally, I would leave the back end alone other then filling in the middle.

I never liked the look of blacked out tails.
