I have a 2007 530i and hate the look of the amber lens in the front lights.

That being said, I do not want to spend a lot of money to get rid of it by buying a new set of lights.

Does anyone know of any other options?

If you have pics to go along with the suggestions that would be awesome.

Any help would be appreciated.

Listen to Krozi, full clear lenses are way expensive and a headache. Get the Euro stickers you won't be disappointed

I just decided that I am going to go with the stickers.

The only thing I am uneasy about is the fact that when it is night time, and the lights are on, the amber appears to show through.

Am I mistaken?

If I am not mistaken, is there a way to solve that issue?

I appreciate all the help guys. I am new to the forum, but I am extremely glad I found it! It is awesome and extremely helpful!
