This is really awesome mod!

How is the high beam light level without the high beam only with the xenon's?

Maybe you can guys help me with my confusion, I have my pre-LCI lights and I would like to have my AE bright as the new F10 cars.
Is there any kit you can recommend? There is so much options on the market, but it is really hard to believe all the advertisement as every product is brighter than the rest

Also is there any DIY for the headlights "glass" removal?

thx

madien , the bixenon high beam on the e60 is enough to cover a 2 story villa

dont waste ur money on any bulb replacement for ur angel eyes get the orion

the only thing will stop me from buying the F10 is those stupid angel eyes why its so ugly comparing to the new X5 and the new E92 , look at any F10 during the day and u will seeonly 2 light dots from the buttom of each ring

You kidding me? I've been seeing F10's all over the place here, and their angel eyes look absolutely stunning. It's like two perfect super bright Oo oO's coming at you.

Ehssan...i need more info/how-to/DIY on removing and painting the headlight assemblies. i looks like painting the hi-beam reflector will be simple enough after sanding, priming and painting, but how pray-tell did you paint the surrounding portion of the Xenon bulbs?

im starting my install tonight and will be going strong all weekend long. any info you could shoot would definitely help. here is what i have planned:

-Orion V2 install
-White LED eyebrow mod
-DKNewYork Eyebrow custom paint mod to white and frosted (but with a slight twist in style/execution)
-Ehssan black-out look of turn signal and light assemblies <----this is the one i could use more info on

i already have the Nite-Shade paint for the black-out of the turn signals and side marker lights, but im not sure how im going to tackle painting the hi-beam and low beam assembly to match the look of Ehssan's method. thanks for the help and inspiration people!

Ehssan, my guess is that the F10s you are seeing out there have halogen headlights and not xenon. The xenon headlights' angel eyes are pretty bright, similar to Orions. The thing I don't like about them though, is they look purple-ish unless viewed straight on.

Also, something interesting to add. You mentioned the surrounding shroud for the xenon headlights' chrome wipes off... actually, it doesn't. I am guess that it did for you is because it's hot like hell out there and pretty much melted away the paint, lol.
