Rear light help - someone must have tried?

[phantome46]

So I have just purchased a spare set of rear lights and am about to embark on the mission to remove the lenses and black them out - if they can be opened.

So has anyone tried to do this already?

From looking at them they appear to be bonded together with a very strong glue which i guess needs scraping out to pull them apart? or is there any tips?

Hope somebody can help before I break a set of lights

Thanks

Have yet to find a good vinyl solution for this to go on the outside. Lamin-x has horrible orange peel and Xpel does not make them.

We just recently completed a light tint taillight set for a local F90 M5 customer let me know if we can be of any help getting yours sorted!

OP, please do not "rice out" your classy car with internal lens painting or ridiculous external laminate overlays. Do it right instead: Have a good body shop uniformly scuff the factory clear and spray it with a few light coats of custom-tinted clear until the lights look darker but nor dark. I got it done that way while I had my lights out for a bumper replacement.

On a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being OEM and 10 being pitch black, I went to about a 4. It keeps a classy car looking as such while still differentiating it from OEM. It is not cheap, but doing something right rarely is.

I believe above is the method Mike@IND might be referring to as well. Nice M5 guys!
