Looking into replacing my mat blk side gills to blk chrome

I noticed ind sells the oem blk chrome gills. Do they come with the M sticker and are they LEDs instead of the standard bulb. Should have read more before I ordered my mat blk gills. Considering I have shadow line trim it would look much better. Hopefully my ? Can be answered. Thanks

Mat gills and high gloss shadow line trim

Ind also can tint the light. Has anyone gone this route?

not sure about IND, but if you order the OEM from bmwpartspros.com you get the M3 emblems and the signal lights are the standard OEM signals, not LED.

I'd assume IND is the same since it is the same OEM part but i dont know for sure.

It depends on which one you get. The edition ones come with the led and sticker. The matte black doesn't. Take a look at their website and it'll tell you in the description or picture.

IND sells the OEM lights and can supply the stickers also (for an additional price). I went with the dark tinted lenses. Looks great, and the lights are still fully visible when on. You should just PM or call IND, easiest way to get all your questions answered.

I would definitely get the tinted signal as well. Or else it sticks out like a sore thumb.

When the whole housing is chrome and it's not as noticeable. Definitely get the black chrome it changes depending on the ambient lighting.
