Can anyone point me in the right direction to get some white or smoked front reflectors on my E63

TIA

They are actually available on eBay, both clear and smoked.

Here's some examples of smoked on black:

cool!! but they aren't cheap. for clear ones they might be worth it. but for smoked, i'm glad i did it with a can of clear smoke paint $15 and 30 minutes of time.

I wish I could save a few buck and smoke painted them myself, but I couldn't even paint my model cars right. I had to leave them to the pros.

in that case, the reflectors are a deal! why mess up something so expensive in an effort to save a few bucks. :-)

as an additional note, I noticed your other thread where you had to take off the side markers to change them and broke them as well.

For me when I painted it, I just did a really good job of masking it off from the car and just patinted it while directly on the car, didn't even remove it. literally took 30 minutes from masking to clean up.

something to consider either way. good luck.

On a related note, does anyone have clear instructions on how to remove the front bumper lenses?

I ordered replacement ones on Ebay (smoked + mirrored bulbs) which arrived yesterday, but checking the E63 manual I found it doesn't provide instructions on how to remove the lens unit.

Apologies in advance for the n00b question

I bought one from an ebay seller and it didn't sit flush, I'm dealing with him right now either to get a replacement or my money back.

It was a pita to get it out, but I figured out how to do it now. :o

Thanks for the help - that link has all the info I need.

Told you eBay

eBay is a great choice. But taking them off and replacing them is difficult, to say the least.

If you want to just black them out, I simple masked it off and painted it while on the car. :-)

But for your white car, I would agree clear markers are probably optimal. In that case, removing them is the only option.

Good luck!

Got the clear ones and great choice then the black.

Thanks to AutoTalent it was a simple 10 min swap

You could use VHT Nightshades to smoke them yourself

10 minutes!? That's impressive! You'll have to share I'm sure many people would appreciate.
