Hello,

I'm looking to change out my headlights on my 2005 545. I have them blacked out now but I also don't like the amber markers. I have saw posts about how to change the amber LEDs to white but that looks to hard and don't want to go that route, saw pics for the Euro stickers (they look ok).

Any idea's

Will the newer lights fit on my car something from an 08 on, I don't think they have the orange markers?

Anything that could help, let me know. Thank you.

to the forum!

Fit yes ... I did it on mine also some other members ... but not w/o re-wiring and re-programming among other things.

All E60's have the amber eyebrows and require cutting them out to replace the LEDs with white ones. So even if you get LCI headlights it would still require cutting them out, in addition to what BlaSTiWi mentioned where it requires re-wiring and re-coding. Awesome mod though.

IMO, get the overlays (Make sure you get the "Euro freshness" ones) and see if you like them. HOnestly, it looks OEM unless you get really close. Looks way better than the orange and it's dirt cheap compared to the LCI upgrade option. If you don't like it you can always upgrade later.
