Has anyone lightly tinted the tail lights on an e92?
I really like the deep red look of the lci tail lights and the f10 tail lights.. i feel like the pre-lci's are more of a bright red
Has anyone smoked them really lightly? or done any tints or anything? Please share pictures thanks

I don't think "smoking" them will do the trick. I suggest polish the glass first, then tint with a darker shade of red and see if that works. Better yet, try to use a film instead of paint as it's reversible.

I think newer lights look redder, but going dark ruby would be a totally different look. Personally never a fan, looks too "90s".

Mine are have a light smoke on them, they are dark red now. Here are some pics. this is the lightest smoke the shop had, said people usually use them on their headlights to make them a little darker. They are light, and just the pefect amount of darkness for me.
