My Ride: 06 530i titanium gray babyy!!!! loaded up the ass
Default

Hi, I'm new here. I have a 06 530i. There is a small piece of orange in the corner headlights. I was hoping to clear it out. I've seen quite a few people have it done and I know it's done on the new models - it looks really clean. Does anyone know where I can get a pair? How much of the headlights do I have to replace?

As far as I know it is extremely difficult to remove the headlight housing. Most members on this forum have purchased the Euro Sticker Overlays from member Akalius.

Check out your first posting. I responded to that one on what options you have.

Another option is to replace the orange turn signal bulb with a silver Solaris Invisibulb. It doesn't completely eliminate the orange look (because the lens piece is orange too), but it lessens it considerably.

Good luck and enjoy your E60.

That's what I recommend. To remove the orange part that is built into the headlight, you must bake open the headlight to unseal it and remove the hardwired LED. There are a few members who have done it but it's not very straightforward.
