You might want to see if there is someone with the older headlights want a swap.. buying new headlights will cost $$$ if that is the case you might as well buy euro headlights without that strip and the orange amber.

I for one don't think the eyelid will cover the strip.. also the strip lights up at night so it might look awkward..

Golden3ye · 06-29-2012, 05:47 PM

i am on the fence on how it looks. at night i think it is awesome, during the day, slightly out of place

tranism · 06-29-2012, 06:32 PM

The white strip? Doesn't it light up? I'm assuming you're talking about the brows.

Wish I had the bulit in eyelids on my 09! I even went so far as to buy some vynil to mimic the factory eyebrows.

Delta Goose · 06-30-2012, 01:44 AM

If you are referring to the LED brows, I would be down to do a straight trade. I've got the '09 headlights.

woner · 06-30-2012, 10:55 AM

I'd be interested in trading. I have a 2011 model and the headlights have been protected by a clearbra since the first week I got the car so they should be mint.

I wish I had eyelids... they look so good. Makes the car look sharper than pre-LCI

Mister RK · 06-30-2012, 05:13 PM

I agree it looks out of place (I have a BSM) ... I thought about adding the Tii stripes in white, but wasn't sure how it would turn out, so never pulled the trigger. =P

Dackelone · 06-30-2012, 06:07 PM

Your tape on the headlights reminds me of those early mule teaser shots...

Dackel, you have a billion BMW pics, lol. I love it.

As far as the OP's issue, I can't imagine how or why the eyebrows would be color matched to the car? That would look weird as heck, IMO. Wouldn't mind the LCI xenons myself, but it sounds like you have plenty of offers to trade so far.

Agree with that.

I continue to be amazed by the number of people on this site that throw their teddies out of the pram over such minor things

So funny

+1.

Why even buy the car if you're gonna nitpick the crap out of it?

Agree 100% - I like the white strip on my LMB car. Looks great imo.

MGallop · 07-13-2012, 03:17 PM

i hate mine as well...
i could have done without them, esp since i have black as well

iNAN3 SOLDi3R · 07-13-2012, 03:46 PM

If you still want to trade, then I'll do it. I have a 2011 with adaptive xenons. Let me know, if you haven't worked out a deal yet.

ec1c173 · 07-14-2012, 02:10 AM

Chris_B37 · 05-07-2013, 06:33 PM
