I wouldn't do it. I smoked the headlights on my STi and it affected the light output A LOT more than I expected. I used the pre cut Lamin-X ones and ripped them off less than a week after putting them on (which was 4 hours of hell with a heat gun and squeege).
They did look good though. |

I have done most of my vehicles with a light smoke instead of dark. No problems with lighting but all have been HID.

Rim and taillight tint info-
The tails and heads were done by Strictly Window Tint in Garfield NJ. The guy's name is Ronnie I think. Style 199 rims, 19 inch, in black. They're low profile, so you GOTTA watch the potholes man. One of many reasons NOT to smoke the headlights. Be sure to get a BMW CCA membership, with it you get 20% off!
