Can we get a better look at the front? Very interested in how the vinyl wrapped kidneys look. And can we get a pic with the low beams and high beams on?
Such great mods, we need better pics!!!!

Why anyone wants less light out of either the headlights or tail lights is beyond me...I want to see and be seen to keep the other idiots from running into me or hitting something - more warning, the better...I could really care less about how the car looks as long as it functions well.

Everything he did to his car other than the market lights (which are not even on the car in Europe and their even tougher in safety standards than the USA) is just cosmetic and has no effect on safety or "being seen" ... Just saying. In fact I find some safety items on cars are the cause of some safety issues, I can't tell you how many times I see people driving at night with their day time running lights (low power halogen) running thinking they have their headlights on and have nothing else working, no tail lights at all. Bunch of muppets out their and gotta be carful of even the Un modded cars as far as I see. I'd rather have a guy with darker headlights and tail lights working and on vs a muppet driving at night with no headlights and tail lights any day . Trust me where I drive their everywhere !!! See at least 2 a night |

And for what it's worth, I didn't touch my headlights or tail lights. Look close before judging. |

The lens on the i3 headlights is clear...at least in your picture, they look black. Anything that doesn't affect the reliability or safety...if it makes you feel better about the car, go for it.

Plus who the heck cares !!!! If he wants to mod it then by all means do it! Putting in flame suit now !! I'm getting the impression that a bunch of i3 owners are smug stick's in the mud! Reminds me of the South Park episode of all the Prius drivers. I've had the pleasure on contributing to the Z4 forum's and 1series forums and 3 series forums and everyone is their to help and further the enthusiast delight and here every time someone blanks out a marker light we get people hewing and hawing about safety and all that shit! It's a BMW ! Different breed of buyer than your average leaf or Prius buyer. Get over it! Theirs no real traffic here on the i3 forum and love any new item someone brings up to discuss but if every time you get a person getting all angry because of someone wanting to personalize their ride (free country) they won't post and the crickets will keep on singing. God forbid you go to SEMA! Whatever...... Rant over! |

Seem to have missed the comment that if it doesn't affect safety, I said if it makes you feel good, go for it. Some states can be strict about these things - it would be a pain to spend the time and money making changes, then fail an inspection, have to change it back, not counting some smug lawyer recognizing the fact that you'd deleted a required federal safety feature that came with the car and sue your butt off if you were in an accident. Whether you agree with the federal rules or not, you do live in this country.

I spend money all the time paying tickets for my tinted windows and driving with only one license plate. But that's what you gotta do to get the look you want unfortunately, I hate being in a state that requires a front plate so I drive without it as not to deface my car and window tint I have to pay to remove and replace after a ticket but that's my prerogative As for safety, like I said before, I'd rather have someone with tinted headlights and tail lights of which I can see them at night although dimly vs the morons who drive without any headlights in a perfectly safe and normal car who either forget to turn their headlights on or are running their DRL's with no tail lights. Not sure where you drive but I'm sure you've seen em out their and unfortunate for where I drive their a nightly occurrence and it drives me nuts!!! |
