Hi All,


as you guys already know, i went from pre-LCI to LCI, but because i didnt change the LCM (light module) i burned/melted the inner reflectors because the car was using those lights as flash to pass instead of cornering lights. as well as have the horrible errors in the idrive.......

Anyhow since then, i have activated my Bi-xenons and disabled the inner/cornering lights and now the Bi-xenons just kick in when i need to flash or use the High Beam.. And no more errrors

but now i'm left with the horrible melted reflectors....

Can i these be taken out??????

Next mod is to now change them LEDs to white...


this is what i mean





heres my melted one




and heres my HID angel lights

Actually I think there are more. Yes you most likely can do it but you will have to source it from a used or damaged light housing.

Is that what you want to hear?

thats not what i wanted to hear i was hoping i wasnt the only one that melted the reflectors and that someone had already solved their prob without having to buy another light, they already costed me £600 cant afford to do that again...... i have since taken out the bulbs as i no longer need them, so just need to get rid of the horrible look

honestly, it's not as bad as u think. Only u can see it melted unless u tell us. When ur HID angels are on, u cant even see it!

If you want to replace it, u need to find a banged up headlight, CUT the circle, and seal it back. Might as well replace the headlight
