So I decided to give it a run and you were right... major PITA! But, came out looking great. Much more involved than I thought it would be.
Anyone else trying it, one recommendation I can make is... you have to remove the front bumper to remove the headlights. The bottom torx bolts are held in with alignment nuts. The nut is supposed to be held with a retainer so that it doesn’t spin but it’s a crap design. The bolts are red loc-tight’d from the factory so as soon as you put force on it, it bends the retainer and just spins. Before attempting to back the bolts out, get a soldering iron, hold it to the back of the bolt where it threads through the nut. This will heat up the loctite and you’ll be able to back it out with a ratchet.

Anyone try simply cutting off the original lens and just replacing it with a new lens upon reinstall? I’ve been toying with the idea of sending my headlights to oneighty, bayoptiks, modemporium but most will charge you an extra $300 for a new lens. Sounds like all they may be doing (to make the job much easier) is cutting off the original lens. Knowing this, it makes it a little more challenging for me to swallow a $1600USD charge when a new lens is only $300 then DIY’ing the blackout process

Done a lot of mods since lockdown, however this was by far the most time intensive. Very happy with the results, though!

looks great!! Good job ! U need alot of patience for sure.i got my austin yelllow m3 last year and love the color especially in certain lighting looks amazing.i live in calgary and drove up to edm to buy it few days ago i got a light tint..looks not bad..ofcourse not as good as ures .
im planing to change my tail lights to lci ones.my project.looks easy to do and just gota do coding after so many projects for my car but no money i got a question for u about the side delete reflectors on front and rear bumper?did u order from ind company or u bought paint and did it ure self?it seemed abit pricey with exchange rate and shipping so i bought paint and etc and gona do the reflectors my self.i did autobody work before so im guessing i can handle it 👌 I decided to drive it only in summer and get a crappy car for winter. How do u find driving it in snow or icy roads? What about salt and sand on roads?wont it ruin the paint at some point?altho i have 3m wrap im still worried Here some pics of tinted headlights..150$ not bad Last edited by Amina2511; 06-22-2020 at 05:11 AM.. |
