Are Smoked Headlights a Bad Idea?
Hello all,
I want to upgrade my OEM (2014 328i) headlights and get something that will be brighter as well as more visually appealing. I found a set of "M3 Laser Style Smoked" headlights on ebay and I really like how they look but am wondering if them being smoked will be to much of a negative as far as making the lights dim at night to be worth it. Any input is very much appreciated, also I will link the product that I am considering below. Thanks! Jonas https://www.ebay.com/itm/18286232913...Bk9SR7KTkcDBYw |

Is it legal in your state? Although nowadays the police only goes after you if you commit murder...even then only selectively.

In Ontario people get warnings and then tickets on repeat stop for license plate protectors if they are tinted (covers are sold in stores). Just last week, co-worker got pulled over in morning rush hour traffic for that - no other offense. And while at it, the officer says "Your window tints look too dark. Here is the Warning". Next time he gets pulled over - he will get charged for tinted windows (legal level) as well, because there is record of the warning in the system. How crazy is that?

Vanity doesn't over-rule sanity. The larger question is why illegal accessories are allowed to be sold? I'm sure they have a 'for off-road use only' disclaimer on the packaging, but still...

Here in the DC area police is probably happy that they do not get shot at when stopping a car, so pimp-mobile tinting and 130 decibel mufflers are their last concern.
