with US LCI models, the headlights came without the yellow/orange in the headlight housing...so those had to reflectors were installed to comply with US DOT standards....

I believe EU headlights never had that orange in the headlights as MOT standards are different and therefore EU LCI models do not get the bumper reflector (I think)
You're right, they're not on German LCI models. I just checked on bmw.de on the very latest models (which you guys would call the 2010) and they're not there.

The 166's are played out and gross...and they came stock on my car. Hahahaha! Get the 167's. Cheapest is Garry Romani, Parts Manager at BMW of Newport (RI). Just don't forget to mention you're a member on here or you won't get the major discount.

Oh yeah, and get the 167's. They look SOOO much better on the E60 than the 166's.
