Full custom headlights modification


Hello all!
I’ve recently decided to go with opening the headlights and changing everything inside to a more modern mean look. I didn’t like how my car looked from the front and I was sure changing the headlights would make a big difference!

Some info about the car, 2010 135i E82 has the non lci headlight.
So I went ahead and bought broken headlight sets with the lci housing and swapped everything to my headlight (it means I opened up 4 hard ass headlights). Also I read around that our headlights are harder to open up than the other platforms like the E9x and I can confirm that they’re much much much harder.

I changed the angel eyes, added eyebrows LEDs from bavgruppe design and a full blackout and also housings change.

Anyways I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves. The video will show how it works with turn signals. And believe me when I say the pictures don’t do them justice!

One more thing, I’ll do corner delete sometime today so more pictures to come later!

Would anyone be interested in having this done to their headlights? I'm thinking of doing these kind of mods for people who are interested! let me know in the comments.
And if you're wondering, if I would do this to your existing xenon headlights it'd cost from 500-800 dollars depends on what you want and what you currently have.

It says you're in the Cleveland area. How long do you think it would take for you to do this? I'd say it's almost perfect. You just need to get those turn signals to "sync" and it would look as good as a factory part!

How do you make sure these don’t leak? Everyone’s I’ve seen do this has leaking and water intrusion.

The people who has leaking problem I believe they don't seal it back properly. Sealing it back is a crucial part and if you do seal it back properly and enough you won't have any leak or anything.

So what is it that you do to the orange corner lenses?
Do you mask them with smoke film? Paint them? Replace them with different lens?
I can't tell from the pics.

I actually paint over them and then do the "corner delete" code with Carly and you're good to go!
