Clear corners / side lights?

BellasBmw · 07-06-2005, 02:01 PM

Hey all-

I was wondering if i would be able to replace the orange turning lights in the front for clear ones? Any ideas or has anyone done this?

Search around a bit, there tons of threads on this... but as far as I've read, you can't take the headlights apart to replace the orange diffuser part. Only solution so far is to buy an euro headlight assembly... very $$$$ solution. Someone this morning suggested getting a tint film customizer to cut out a shape that you can apply to the headlight cover and help mask the orange parts. This was the website, but I'm sure there are plenty of other types of these tinters out there you can ask.

That was me and it would be very cheap. I also think color matched Vinyl my work well if you dont care about losing your turn.

I was thinking of ording the tinted film from this guy www.rockblocker.net and cuting a piece to just cover the clear. This way my tails would only be black and red. IMO better then red and clear on a white car.
