Added the LCI indicators to the old girl today. Pleased to get rid of those horrible white blobs on the side.

Nice. For some reason, black just makes the nose look even sleeker.

I’m thinking of getting mine painted dark red. The emblems too. My nephew is crafting a facsimile.

Are your side windows tinted? What % shade are they?

The LCI indicators definitely looks much better than those white blobs! even better colour coded especially on a black car. :thumbsup:

I think if I had a black car, I would definitely keep the original indicators and maybe had them smoked. I’m not a big fan of the bigger chromed versions as on my wife’s car. Same with all that sDrive number gibberish underneath them which I have since removed.

No idea what the tint is I am afraid, it was like that when I brought it.

If youre going to tint them be careful
Front and side windows must allow at least 70% of the light to enter.
Your windows are alread slightly tinted when made - best go see a pro for advice...

Look good, are these a straight replacement or are they modified versions?

There’s a clip that needs to be removed to fit them to a pre lci car.
