Tinted E90 head/rear lamps??

So ive been wanting to tint my lights to give my baby a nice customized touch. But its hard to find pictures online of tinted lamps for the e90 to know how it would look. I can only find for the e92.

I dont want super black head lamps, im looking to just smoke them. Id rather not buy the smoked housing because im thinking about an easy removal for when i sell the car later down the road. So what i wanted to do is to tint the red part of the of the rear lamps and leave the white reverse lights exposed so that it blends in with my AW paint.

Rear Lamps: Im thinking maybe can buy these and cut out the section for the reverse lights.

Front Lamps: Same idea for the front but only to cover the yellow reflectors built in the housing.

Will any of this look good? Should i also tint my reverse lights? Does any have pictures of this or where i can find them?

Also i remember seeing along time ago a way to replace the built in reflectors for some carbon fiber inlays.. any one know where i can find this tutorial??

Thanks

Not to solicit, but we offer light & dark smoke for just that reason. Different car colors work with different shades of tint, etc.

Here's the look I think you're going for, right?



(Light smoked)
Hope this helps

In my opinion, I'd do the front and the rear!
