Hey guys!

I am getting a bit tired of the dull Pre-Lci look of the generic aftermarket LED bulbs out there.
*I have the 5watt Led installed*
Sure it's great at night, but its useless during the day.

After reading countless threads, I am left with mixed feelings as well as routes to go with.
My questions are:
1) I cannot afford an LCI upgrade as of now, so i would like to go the cheaper route and open the headlights and possibly install an Orion or Mtec kit.
Considering the question, are there any tutorials or youtube videos that show how the e60 headlight should be opened/cut/baked?
2) Is there anyone here or anywhere that can help me with this or do a send/receive lights sort of deal for a reasonable price?
3) Are there any other options that I could be missing for a Pre-Lci? Maybe another LED bulb brand, HID Angel eyes, anything at all?

let me know your suggestions or any tutorial tips!
Much appreciated, thanks!

 

I HAVE LCI Halogen headlights, and i DIDNT want to cut anything, so i JUST bought these plug-n-play angel eyes, GOT THEM TODAY, and will install this weekend. hope this help.

those do look good, and I hope they are what you wanted. My car is a PRE-LCI so those would not fit.
This is kind of what I currently have on the car. They are bright at night, but during the day.. forget it

i feel your pain, im right there with you. LCI headlights are not cheap!
are you pre lci halogen? hopefully there is some sort of tutorial for this process discussed above as the complete project leaves me among many feeling nervous about the install
ive been doing the same (looking into facelift, lci parts) and ive decided to go with umnitzas headlight replacement unit once i can drop that kind of cash they have the orions already installed
Goodluck!

I have the same and will like to see how they look on the car during the day

 

Yeah man you are an exact replica of me. LCI's are expensive, and I can't find a SINGLE tutorial or DIY on how to bake/open these E60 headlights to install the rings. I imagine the ones that are preinstalled are also expensive since you are buying the HEADLIGHT assembly with them. If someone offers a service like this for a "fair" price, that would be great!

I have Pre-LCI Xenons (thank god for that atleast haha)
I just ordered an HID set for my fogs as well, should be coming in next week.

 

Wow I just checked out Umnitzas site, and the complete assembly is going to run anywhere from 700-900$. That is quite a price tag for Pre-lci "upgrade". Not worth it IMO..

Ahhhh ... I sure glad that I got my LCI Bi-Xenon for $500 w/ everythin' on it ...

Well ... I guess you never seen member nomis_nehc post(s) ... look him up and you shall find out ...

PS: It seems that he's out of the Country at the moment so expect delay when you decide to get in touch w/ him.

 

Will do... Shit, you live down the st. from me, just come over and check yourself
jk

i plan on doing a DIY thread on this when im done.

 

for me its worth it.. im pre lci halogen lol
you were smart enough to grab pre lci xenon. i was dumb, went for the 6 mt and said ill live with the pre lci halogens.
im not to bent out of shape not having those amazing automatic headlights and projectors. i can live without the projectors, just need some AE's.

there is a product out there with a remote that you can change colors of the AE's with a remote. go ahead consider it ricey, but i think its pretty B-A.
