I did these on my '91 325i and since it was a black car I opted to go with the two tone smoked upper with red lower. Mainly to break it up some , I just thought that all smoked would have been to much of a black look without some contrast. The uppers on mine are the turn signals and backup lights. The lower is the brake/parking lights and optional rear fogs which I turned into brakes instead since the brake lights were only on the outside lower corners and looked sorta strange. IMO these look alot like the e28 taillights so not as ricey anyways.... Here is a picture of my car although dirty as hell and not the best photo it is at least an idea of what it looks like

Well I agree with you then. I thought you were tlaking about layering them until they were dark black. I do think that look good with a light coat

And if it doesn't look good it is easy enough to remove and polish up the tail light lenses again.
No risk.

It will lessen the output, no doubt.
But if the lenses are scuffed very lightly, apply just 2-3 coats of VHT, and polish with plastic polish it will give a darker appearance, and will not lessen the brightness all that much.
It's all personal preference, really.

touché is a french word used in fencing to acknowledge a hit. I was letting you know that you had responded well and countered my comment well.


Although I'd like to buy them from you and see how they would look with my all black thing i'm going for, I think thats a bit more than I want to spend on them. Thanks though.

No, don't do that. VHT spray will lessen the output of the existing lights. It's the same as putting lamin-x on your headlights.

touche. How much do you want for them?

I agree that they will not look bad on a car that is right for them. I'd buy them off you for the right price.
