2016 X5 Tail lights

Wazzdom · 09-11-2020, 01:55 PM

Lightly tinted

Thoughts?

I like it! Not too light, not too dark. It almost matches the tint on your license plate. jk

Yep looks great.

NYBulldog · 09-11-2020, 05:03 PM

Looks great, what's the rest of the car look like?

Wrapped the gray rear diffuser, wrapped the chrome window trim, and wrapped the bottom of the bumper that was gray, and black grill

I just got onto the forum, bear with me

Working on getting better pictures

Any tint just takes away from the beauty of the lights in my opinion.

HM64 · 09-13-2020, 12:21 PM

Nice
Where did you get them done?

Looks nice! The next step is the tips and badge imo.
I'm about to tint my taillights and reflectors after I finish w the dash speaker installation..

While that is a subtle tint, I've never been a fan of tinted or blacked out lighting. Just a personal preference.

Your X looks great though and if you're into it, roll with it.

You and me won't be trading cars lol. I've got dark tinted tails and fogs, and just had my headlights tinted intermediate. My taste is definitely not for everyone though...

I bought them off the classifieds. They were labeled "fangs." It's actually two separate pieces, one on each side. I couldn't decide which front lip to buy and then saw these and got them just because they were different.

Thanks though!

LOL. For sure. Too murdered out for my taste.

Your other mods are very attractive though, beautiful X. That stance is on point.

I like it. Let's hope they stay on the lights because I had mine wrapped twice and both times the tints started coming of around the corners due to the complex shape of our taillights.

I wasn't sure how the front headlights would look, but they look great

Woah what’s that headlight darkness level?

KCTiger · 04-11-2023, 05:43 PM

I’m not sure to be honest. I think I had options for light or dark. Sorry.
