Place light in front of tire.
Drive car forward.
Lights are fixed.

Why would anyone want to make their BMW look like a 91 Honda Accord with cheap tail lights?

lol, his car looks better than most of the cars here... There's no way it's going to resemble a Honda!

the smoked ones aren't that bad.. I'm not so hot on the idea of smoking the reflectors though, that'll make them a lot less bright.
