someone here posted an eBay link to them but no further updates as to whether or not he bought and installed them. someone else just posted on the FB group applying Lamin-X gunsmoke tint to both front and rear reflectors.

Did you tint them or wrap them?
I think wrapping the body color is the way to go.

Don't know about smoking them but I bought body color painted ones for my X6 here. They have the for the X5 also.

https://ind-distribution.com/product...2ceb2cd5&_ss=r

There is also a DYI for replacing them on the site also

Has anyone gotten their side markets vinyl wrapped?

I have a Sapphire Black Metallic and I believe I can get them wrapped in Gloss Black Metallic.

my area is strict. neither tinted nor painted reflectors will pass annual inspections. i have painted reflectors and have to switch back to OEM but I think I'll smoke tint them, then remove for each inspection then reapply rather than reinstall between OEM and painted reflectors come each inspection.

Can you share the link from Amazon? Do you think tint it will hold up well over the years?

So if it's not done by the shop and the reason is not technically impossible, I'll order this and try it myself.
