How about I do something like this for you guys from Inside the headlight with vinyl when i do the angel retrofit?... kinda like the new BMW headlights coming out on the LCI E90s and the new 7 and 5 series.

this might get your headlights a bit more aggressive and it wont look like a cheesy vinyl from the outside it will feel part of the headlight as it will be encased within the clear lens.

I can do them in white, silver, grey, black etc

its around the $500 range, email me for details, I would do the eyelids probably for +50... I have to design the shape in Pshop and have the vinyl printed and then I can lay it inside the lens when i have a set dissasembled.

I think in silver or a light matt grey will look real nice... like the OEM set.. I can even do interesting cut outs close to the corner that say BMW or Individual, real small and classy... it wont appear to be an ugly segmented eyelid just a design that's part of the headlight.

adaptive headlights and auto-leveling are now motorized behind the shrowds and chrome bezzles so their functionality is unaffected.

So you could do this if we had them shipped to you? Going to need a major DIY on this. Prices are pretty reasonable. Kind of reminds me of the subaru retro-fit days.

otherside · 02-24-2009, 12:57 PM

Thats exactly what im offering, thru Umnitza and F1autohause I am going to be the retrofit guy for your headlight needs.

Now studying these headlights ive realized that the large ring has to continue so I can do that by surgically adapting the new rings to keep on going with the 2 extra rings taht the kit comes with as we have to get 2 sets to make it work..2 different sizes. same as the 335, but the 335 has a lower top headlight line so the cut out of the large ring is no big deal.

this is what I think will work nicely and im 100% confident it will be the same technique as the 335i

Here's more options including the edited large LED ring, the corner grey out and diffrent options for the inner vinyl setups with a nd without a logo..

see how you like these.

Ok so here's what im thinking... I have a local guy who is going to hopefully go thru with it... I did discover one issue with the headlights and its that the main ring on your cars or the low beam ring goes all the way around...unlike the 335 or M3's which cut off the top of the ring creating a nice aggressive cut.

Due to the fact that nobody in the world makes a LED ring that goes full circle and since I don't think anyone will any time soon... the only thing I can do is what i presented on those images.

edit the ring by doing a little surgery and making the ring physically complete itself, but there wont be LEDs in that top portion, not that that's a bad thing, as getting the headlights to feel more aggressive is my goal!... I'm 100% sure I can make it so it's perfect, but you will see the lights have the top cut out a bit.

hence why I have decided that for this car, the job should include these inner eyelids so that it makes perfect sense.

Here's some more images of my buddy's ride with the treatment in place.

Amber Delete, Angels, and the eyelid treatment in different options.
