LED eyebrow on non-1M 1ers
Of all 1ers the ActiveE was the first to feature the LCI LED stripe (aka "LED eyebrow") (LCI = "Life Cycle Impulse" aka facelift) (http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=438895):
Late 2010, the 1M (which went into production Spring 2011) got the LED eyebrow too (halogen coronas, so no matching) (but these don't fit on other 1ers, except if changes are made to the front of the car): The 2013 135i also got the LED eyebrow: Further, at first glance, it seems that the 2013 135i has no halogen coronas anymore (unlike the stock 1M, which requires aftermarket goodies [such as for example LUX Angel Eyes] to match with the white color of the LED eyebrow). Just wondering whether swapping the 1er headlights with the 2013 135i is possible and if some of you did it already. Mine are fine, because I got the 1M featuring 5000K Lux AE. Oh, and personally not digging the headlights styling gimmick of the latest 3er. Try to spot the difference below...

Haha, nice post! Personally I'm no more a fan of seeing LED headlights on a beemer than I am of seeing angle eyes on another vehicle.

2012 model, built July 2011, in attached photo. At the time the picture was taken, I was using MTEC 4350K bulbs to achieve "hid" color. I have since upgraded to Lux 5000Ks as well as the OP. The 2013s use the same design as the 2011 1M and 2012 non-Ms--the picture above has been retouched somehow.
