Anyone tried these yet? Wondering if it's an alternative to the normal plastic eyelids. They're just a vinyl sticker though... lol.

nice find I was going to DIY the same thing by cutting frosted vinyl but for cheaper. I might consider these instead if they're cut exactly like lci and free int postage

Not a bad idea. I have also noticed when I park in shadows, the headlights already have a reflection on the top part that make them look LCI-ish... This would make that look permanent.

I had that done 10 months ago, same design as the web picture shows, made them before the 1M had the first picture posted. (I think BMW are copying me! )

Altho I am not a fan of CF or even in vinyl, but I recommend using CF for the eye lip if you are gonna vinyl them. They do look great.

Had tones of positive commends, no one knows they are vinyl after they touches the eye lid.

Thanks for the pics man. I'm curious, how did you get them in the CF pattern? On the site I only see the "frosted" ones
