No it's not. I have had several cars in the last few years and I am never satisfied with the tint job unless it's at 5%.

I think legal is 35% on the fronts and the back ones you can go as dark as you want.

Kuni treated me really well. I will go back when I get another car.

Headlights have shipped and should be here by next weekend. I might have to work next weekend but if I don't I will be installing them.

I was told by the seller they are plug and play, no coding required.

I put in the floor mats after having them out of the package for a few days in the house and they still have a rubber smell to them. It's not bad but noticeable.

I believe the One-eighty head lights come with OEM style HID head lights so I will use the led for high beams once I do the install.

There is a list of stuff I can get done. Like windows roll up with key fob. Mirrors fold when locked. Dogs come on when unlocking the car.

The lights should be delivered today so I hope to install tomorrow. I will take pics of before and after.

Just installed the new headlights and fog lights. Took me 3hrs, I need to get rid of that none led light. It looks bad, is that a running light ?






I will try to get better pics. I was in a hurry to get it done before work.

Which little light? If you're talking about the DRL's, yes you can code those off. If you're talking about what looks to be coming from the part of the headlight closest to your grilles, I have no idea what that is because it isn't there on my Xenon's (I have a 2013 328 with lighting package). I would check with ONEighty if that's the case.

Looking good, keep the pics coming

Yeah it's the little light that is not the drl. I am asking the guy I picked them up from. I will contact one-eighty if he does not know.

I looked at my old halogens and they have that little light too.

Thanks

That is the "city light" which comes on with your parking lights or headlights. You can change it out or pull the bulb, I'm not sure if it can be coded out.

I wonder if there is a led for that. Looks like it throws a code if it's out.

Thanks for the info !
