  • In this video, I'm simply making my BMW E46 M3 headlights darker by spraying plasti dip on the chromed out headlight parts. I absolutely love the darker contrast on the e46 and my headlights were kinda giving me a yellowish hue due to led chips reflection. This simple $6.00 can of plasti dip changed the whole look of the car.

    Love your content...the halos look so much better when it was reflecting off the chrome accents...but its your choice...keep up the good work.

      Thank you so much, i appreciate the positive feedback. Good thing it’s plasti dip so down the road, I can just peel it off and go back to OEM. Thank you.

    Hey, it looks really nice but here’s the problem, you lost your high beam lights because they’re not going to shine with the same intensity with the chrome housing. But anyways for those of us doing only city driving, they’re hardly used. I like your garage, it’s so clean. Great job.

    • @AmelsGarage
      @AmelsGarage  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      That’s correct, my high beams were terrible to begin with, but also helps me with living in Las Vegas, no lights needed 😅. Check out little later, I’m going to build new ones from scratch, both high and low beam will be projected. Thank you so much.

      Yeah, i can’t use my high beams, which i don’t need in Vegas anyways. Plasti dip so if i decide I’m tired of it i can peel it and go back to oem look.

    Nice visual upgrade. I want to do the same for my M3.
    I purchased black kidney grills a couple of years ago that do not fit well / need zip ties to make them tight. They still don't look as just right. Your grills apear to fit predict. Any recommendations on aftermarket black or carbon kidney grills that are a fit for a 2001 M3?
    Thanks for any advice.

    • @AmelsGarage
      @AmelsGarage  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      My kidney grills are oem, i just wrapped them with carbon fiber vinyl. Honestly the oem parts are the best, you can wrap it in flat black or you can use plasti dip on it. Plus it’s inexpensive.

      Some of my stock chrome kidney grills clips broke when I removed them as the plastic was super old. I will plan to order some new oem ones and coat them.

      They are the depo headlights, so it came with it. I’m not sure what they use. I can tell you that they are bright. But will be making my own double projector headlights with these.
