You've got to visually confirm the bulb type, for whatever reason BMW changes them from year to year.
As for tinting any lights, that's nuts. The result is very much is the opposite of what you want lights to do, to better see where you're going at night and to keep other people from running into you when you're turning or braking.
Thank you.
