Where is the best place to buy the red tint for the taillights to put over the white section for the LCI look ?

I bought stuff of eBay a while back but it looked pink rather than red when applied, it looked terrible so i just removed it but having seen a few pics of this mod online I really like the look of it when you get the colour right.

Anyone done this mod and got a good colour match ? Tint film or spray I'm not to bother just as long as it looks right

Interested in this as I had the exact same issue, the lights looked a bit pink in the daylight and orange under street lamps

VHT Red Taillight Tint Spray.

Think a few on here have used it.

It will certainly see you along until you bite the bullet and get LCI Tails. Don't fight it

Thanks mate. Nah my old beater won't be seeing any LCI conversion Just a few cheap mods to freshen the car up a little before I move on to something newer, just cant bring myself to part ways with it just yet

Any idea the best place to buy that stuff ? Had a quick look on eBay but it seems to be all international sellers.

I ended up using the eBay stuff but applying two layers of it, made it look much more red.

Perhaps worth a shot?

The stuff i got was very thick even with just 1 layer.

I think if i can find a tint spray that will do the job i would rather go with that method as i think i could achieve a much tidier looking job. I started with the vinyl first more to see if i liked how it looked and if not i could remove it but now i know that i like it i would rather go with the permanent solution.

I much prefer the clear section. So much so that I want some outer tail lights with clear tops too, like the old M3 style

Yeah I tried the film myself. The pink look wasn't quite what I had in mind. So ripped it off after a week.

I thought about trying the spray but then thought "sod it" and bought the LCI's.
To be fitted over Christmas. Can't wait!

What's the going rate for LCIs these days? It's a mod I'm always thinking about. ECP never has one of the ULO inner lights in stock.

Is it still around £300 plus £50 for loom?

i got the bootlid (same colour as mine) and lights (genuine) for my e90 for around £200 but i had to wait ages for the right deal!

[Mark e90]

any recommendations on where to buy the tint from ?

[Juz5i]

Yeah you're still looking at around £300 for the E92 LCI's.

Then about £30ish for loom from CotswoldBMW

I will post a picture later, issue is that the indicator light is now more red than orange when it flashes.
