Any pics of them on the car?[/quote]
So going by my first pic as guide in this thread for these to be tinted, it looks like the red bits are actually lighter and the white bits are darker than OEM Darklines.
Been to his place to get the last of the polish done too (these pics were taken before that, sorry).
I will get some up with the car clean and debadged. So do you think they look OEM or are they too dark (difficult to tell in my shots for sure). Or too Saxo-like...?
Before:
During without flash:
During with flash and you catch the 3 reflectors (the otherwise lit versions on the LED type):
And the afters:

Not Saxo like at all and a spot on mod. Personally think they're just right.

Sanj, I like the look very much. I'm not one for mod's on my own cars but that suits the car IMO. What's it like with lights on?

Thanks gents - one of the pre-requisites was the lights must be legal and most of bulb light come through the lens. They are really good - I can't take a picture though, I'm cr@p at taking pics of lights when they're on!

Looks like the black line rear lights I had on my E90, wish they did the same for the X6 :/
This might be the way to go.

Looking good mate, would have had those badges off within half an hour of getting the car home, and that includes getting a cuppa first

Can be done - problem is not being able to use the car until you get the lights back. This guy can turn em around in a day but if it is not right he won't let them go. His work is really high-class.
Only reason I use him.
