My new black/black/black F32 428i

Just got the brand new 428i coupe and loving it so far..powder coated the stock sportline wheels black and tint all around. Just waiting to black out the chrome grill (tried taking the grill out myself but had difficulty removing all of the release clips at the same time).

My only complaint is the LED amber light turn signal. Doesn't look good when the lights are turned on at night. If anyone knows a legit bulb replacement from the stock amber to LED white, please let me know

He's talking about the turn signal bulb in the headlight housing. Not the side reflector on the front bumper, which has surprisingly not been blacked out yet.

Btw, I think they also sell black or carbon fiber bmw emblems too

Very nice and good luck. what % and make tint did you do on back? Driver and passenger sides? do you have any side photos to show the tint better?

Thanks

Ohh, never would have thought that to be an issue.

But regardless, the reflectors do need to go
