    Tail Light Filming

    Originally researched posted by Billy.....

    You (and others) might find this information helpful if you want to tint/wrap your tails.

    I dunno, do me it's a HUUUUUGE difference. Can't stand the pre-face look, to be honest.S orry bro - I feel awful; I should've included a link and discussed more. I was on Tapatalk for BB and can't cut and paste links.


    I posted a while back on tinted tails for Ryan on Bf.c:

    I've been looking at how to upgrade the tails on my wagon for a while. The options for wagon tails are a bit more limited than sedan/coupes.

    The exterior of my wagon is black - so I've thought about just doing the Nightshades on my OEMs but am concerned about the numerous law enforcement agencies in PA and MD that I could encounter on my drive every day to/from work. So I might just use lamin-x - that way I can remove if I need to.

    Don Nguyen - on e46f.c - is wrapping lights and roofs has some really great pictures of what he's doing over in Cali. He's using lamin-x, so if you need to you can always remove it. Link here: http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=704954

    I've also seen recommendations for Jon's Tinted Tails... http://www.jonstintedtails.com/index.htm.

    Since both use Lamin-X, which comes in a variety of colors and can be used to color match, I wouldn't see why they couldn't do amber across the clear portion of your lights.

    It's just another option out there where options are limited.

    Speaking of pre-facelift vs facelift tails... from your pictures - I'm pretty sure I've got the facelift front... but pre-facelift tails.

    I used Lamin-x on my Jetta and it came out great. It is easy to remove if ou dont like and very thick to last a long time. I have had mine for 2 years without any issues
