Clear Corners??

Does anyone have or have made clear corners on the 09 135i??
If the headlights come apart and the reflectors pop out?? I would like to know before I attempt this. Thanks guys.

It won't work. Don't waste your time or break your headlights. There is a company that's making headlight replacements with clear corners BUT they will NOT have the adaptive headlight feature.

If you are set on it, you will need to purchase Euro headlights. Otherwise, you can cover up the amber reflector with vinyl overlays or the painted covers we will have soon.

Yea, I spent about 3 hours with a heat gun trying to get mine open with hopes of pulling the reflectors out, but didn't make any progress. The glue BMW uses is insano!

I checked with a bmw tech I know and he said you may get it apart but you will damage the adaptive headlights. I'm thinking of looking for euro's, currently have the tinted headlight covers. The reflectors are kinda an eyesore, but will stay for now.
