Blacked Out Headlight Trade?
Hi Guys, I am an e90 forum guy so forgive me if you all dont post your for sale/trade items on the general forum.
At any rate, my Dad bought a used 2009 750i and it came with professionally blacked out headlights. The lights look killer, but they are just not his style. He was planning on getting a new set but then found out how ridiculously expensive new headlight units are. So, is there anyone out there that would potentially be willing to trade stock headlights for these professionally blacked out ones? He may be willing to throw some cash in as well. PM me if interested and I will be happy to email you some pictures!

a friend was asking, when you say blacked out, is it the actual lens painted black or the inner housing painted black (like mine pictured)?

Attached are a few pics of the headlights as promised. Let me know if anyone is interested. Thanks for looking.
Also, apologies for the sideways pics...tech illiterate otherwise I'd fix them.

I had my taillights blacked out several years ago. I got a ticket and had to have a body shop buff them out. So you might not need whole new headlamps.

Buff them out? Do you have any idea how they did that or more information on the service in general? I'd imagine some sort of cleaning solution would have to be used just dont want to use something too potent.

But keep in mind, in my tail light situation, the tail lights may have been plastic, I would think the headlamps on our cars are glass. Not sure if it would work out the same. On a second note, maybe paint thinner would do the trick?
