Smoked Tail-light inquiry

Can anybody send me a message or reply to this on to where I can find smoked tail-light or smoked tail light covers. All I find online are covers for E46 M3. I need mine for E92 M3. Im getting all kinds of mods for my car at the moment. Redeploying in about 30 days and then I gotta put my baby in the garage and increase her beauty. But I need smoked tail-lights or covers of some sort, and I`m stuck... Please help

You can do what we did and get tinted clear painted on the tail lights.

Not a huge fan of tinted lighting but if they had 'blacklines' like the E90, I think that might look good. I have an E90 with OEM Blacklines and think it is a huge improvement. I found these E92 tails on eBay. Don't know if they would throw a code or not but I think it would give you that tinted look plus LED's!

We tinted them here at IND. We have a full service collision repair shop that we also own. The tint is applied with the same method used to paint a car (base coat and clear coat). We are able to do many shades from really light to completely black.

I appreciate the ideas, but here is the problem. I am currently deployed and my home station is italy. So the only way for me to get mods done is per internet. The local shops most likely will not have that kind of stuff due to it being illegal in Europe. Plus the language barrier is a pain in the A** as well. So all my mods need to come via mail. Unless there is a paint I can purchase and self-apply. That would be another option. Where are you guys located at anyway? The tint on that black Bimma locks really good. If I cant find a good buy I will buy the original ones and send them too you for getting it painted. But that seems a bit extreme and might turn out a bit expensive as well. Thanks..

Got it

Found some from **********s.com Thanks for the hints. Ordered a set for about 50 dollars. Hope its not too dark. I think it looks good. Even though its installed on a 328. But mine is white as well.

I found these lights on ebay, I think they will look good on jerez black. My question is if they will fit. The seller told me if it has 4 doors it will fit. That doesnt give me a lot of reassurance. The auction says is a 1 piece design, and the OEM is a 2 piece design i believe. Does anybody has experience with this light or if they will fit

What do you mean by 1 Piece? The trunk part and the outer tail have to be separated for the trunk to open.
