Are blacklines hard to install?

E90T · 11-14-2006, 10:08 AM

did a search couldn't find a DIY.

Easy - takes about 15 minutes. Not much more effort than when you need to change a lightbulb as shown in the owner's manual. There is a DIY somewhere.

Make sure you get the right size socket wrench before you start, so you dont have to drive to the hardware store with one blackline and one factory tail light like i did, LOL.

Very easy to install and it was my first mod ever.

just take your time, and dont worry too much about what other people are saying... 15 mins or whatever...

fairly easy to install. just make sure you place teh "lip" of te new lights in the right place. The DIY is very good and easy to follow. I did the switch in about 40 minutes.... and a beer.

Super easy but take some time to get the alignment of the trunk lid lights and blacklines just right.
