Damn, a lot of questions, lol.
1) The blinker part I am assuming you are referring to the reflector. You can contact Akalius to get Euro stickers to cover that on the outside (you can PM him after you reach 5 posts). OR if you have the balls and tools, you can open up your headlights and put the stickers inside. Obviously, this is the better looking solution, but is a lot more involving. Currently there are two members that has done this, myself and nigxdoof. I am not sure if nigxdoof is offering this as a service, but I have done a number of Socal member's reflector this way. But you're kind of far, lol.
As for angel eyes, from here on out, I am only going to recommend Orions and HID AE's, hahaha. Also, I have to ask. Your pics has me a little puzzled. Why is your inner ring lit and not the outer? I thought maybe it's DRL on, and somehow causing an outline, but I don't believe that's the case. Could be an indication that your bulb for AE is on its way out if it can't output enough light to travel to the low beam halos.

1b. As far as the lights on their way out, I just went in the garage and turned on the AE's and both lit up. So idk...
Thanks for all the warm welcome and quick replies guys!

Welcome from another Dallas person.
I have a 550i, same exact color as yours. I recently had its windows tinted at Pro Tint, their number is (972) 713-6861. I'm very happy with the result. I did 30% all around, except the rear (15%).

I like the exterior, wish the interior wasn't grey, but got the car for an excellent price, so couldn't complain
