Where can I get nice smoked side markers for an 08 e93
Hey Guys,
I have an 08 E93 convertible in sparkling grey metallic. The white side markers irk me. Where can I purchase a dark set of smoked side markers? I bought sets from EBay, Bimmian, and Mod Bargains and returned them all. They are all too light of a smoke color albeit better than the clear ones they are not really what I'm looking for. I had them wrapped in 3M smoked color film which was dead on to the body color and they looked awesome. Problem with that was the curvature of the lens eventually had the film curling off so I pulled that off. I contacted a local tint shop and they said they can't tint them. So can anyone help me with advise and/or pics of yours with a dark smoked side marker that would go with sparkling graphite body color more appropriately? I would really appreciate any advise, pics, or guidance as to where I can find something for this. Have a good day, thanks !!!

Rustoleum lens tint. $6 a can from you're local auto shop. And can be removed with gasoline if you choose to back to oem.

you can look and bmwled.net or just spray tint yourself. I sprayed mine myself to match my tinted fog lights and they now match my JB paint but you can spray lighter than what i did.

This! Did it myself and took just a couple hours. If you do it yourself, take your time and do light coats to not make it very dark. I personally did 2 coats and they look great.
