Whoa! Blackouts! I thought they stopped making those in 1991!

How hard was it to modify them to fit your BMW? I looked around and couldn't find a year of Camaro, Mustang or Monte Carlo that had taillights even remotely similar to an E36. :(

not blackouts... just blacked out taillights. i apologize my e36 isn't an exact carbon copy of everyone elses. i know doing something even slightly different is frowned upon here. i took a risk, and lost. a bf.c member doesn't like my lights... excuse me while i go mop up my tears.

Hey man, it's ok.

After John V made fun of my red double bladed wipers made by Rallye, I learned to ignore him.

it wouldn't be the 1st time i've pulled over in md. i think it would be the 4th time... my wife is from richmond, and she has family that lives in va., so i've done many trips through md. the reason i'm going to fairfax, is to pic up my mother in law.

Actually I just used spraypaint. My goal was to make it so it was impossible to tell if I was braking. I need a rear bumper repaint. :)

I already did black out my headlights. I just drive around with my parking lights on. If I'm leaving the bars and it's dark, I turn on my 6000k HID fogs. :)

ok, guys i get it, you don't like my taillights. i assure you that i have no mullet, and that despite how dark they look in the pic, you can see my brake lights fine. you may have also noticed my car has a 3rd brake light if for some reason you couldn't see my normal brakes. which again i assure you can be seen.

obviously i made it back ok. no tickets, no hold ups. 7 hr round trip.

i've been pulled over in virginia once, or twice. i was lucky though, the cops that pulled me over were pretty cool. most of the time on trips i have my lights on, because of all the construction zones, so they wouldn't be likely to pull me over for my tail lights. you really can see my lights fine. depending on angle they look black, but straight on they don't seem as dark. i've been pulled over since they've been done, and the cops didn't say anything.
