Clear/tinted corner lights

I could probably post this in the general F56 sections but thought I would go here.

Has anyone replaced the ugly orange(front) and red(rear) corner lights with either clear or is there pre-cut tint to color these? I assume the easy deal would be just have them tinted but thout I would check.

I like my orange and red lights (if you're speaking of the ones surrounding the wheel wells) . Very similar as what was on my Vette. Pretty standard. Not ugly to me.

If you want the Euro look and just delete them :

We have the Euro arches here. These are the ones without the side markers for a clean look. 51777300819KT 51777300819

Otherwise , lamin X and cut to fit.

Oh yeah, that's nice. I may try and tint them first. If that doesn't do the job then this is definately the solution.

Welcome. The Euro arches do look nice and clean.

I think of my Mini like I did/do my motorcycles. Because of their size you're already working at a disadvantage on a road filled with semi's and SUV's. I want to be seen. If the little corner lights help, then that's a plus for me. I don't think they look bad myself. But, to each their own.

Random question. What about getting Clear lenses or even frosted white lenses and getting orange bulbs/red bulbs. Is this possible? I've seen it on r56 and it could work on certain color minis.
