Im happy to say that so far so good, Its definitely the toughest headlight I've ever dealt with.. took me 4 hours just to get 1 open...LMAO I estimated and it's going to be 14 to 16 hour job confirmed. so for sure 2 days minimum, so I'm really thinking about how to justify it. Expect a 3 day turn around on my end though.

I charge 300 for non-silicone headlights in labor and that in itself isnt really justified, counting it takes me 8 to 10 hrs to pull those off but I gladly do it to help the community.

Either way, I can basically do whatever you guys like. I studied the amber corner and I can remove it and paint it silver, or black or whatever color and glue it back on... if I leave it off it you can view the chrome bowl of the corner behind it so it doesnt look too finished I think. I can see that i can also do the LED eyebrow retrofits after some more experimenting. so Id say angels and leds and ambers will be finally taken care off as long as the pricing is fair.

Lastly, I did figure out a way to leave the headlight as clean as humanly possible with an interesting technique that lets me pry the headlight without mangling the living daylights out of it which is what most people that have attempted, ended up with. The silicone is a serious mess...I can see why no one has wanted to tackle these.

there will be some mild scaring here and there on the black plastic around the the joint but let me tell ya, its going to come out beautiful, Im very exited to see the pair lit up with the angels.

Its most definitely worth the time and effort, It just has to make sense for me to take these on cuz its a 2 full day hit on my end.

Well cross that bridge when Im done, I'm taking it slow on these so I'll be hopefully done by Saturday day.

I'll keep you all posted.


P.S. Im curious. when do the eyebrow lights turn on? are they on 24/7? or do they turn on when the headlights turn on? I don't have the test car here so this is kinda a backwards way to go about it but i might need you guy's help for some small details.

Also your angel bulb... its on during the day and night correct?

Where's the pics Luis!!?!?! =) (just busting your chops)

The eyebrow will come on when we turn on the angel eyes / tail lights / interior ambient lighting / gauges. The angel eye's also come on when you switch the taillights / angel eyes / eyebrows on.

Let me know if you need anymore info. you can email me if you want. Its the maitri gmail account.

heheh I'll post some soon, ok so when the car ignition turns on, aren't your angel eyes your DRLs? I see 5 series all over the place with the headlights off and the angels on during the day. and then the angels stay on when the low beams come on as well correct?

and just to confirm, your eyebrow does not turn on until you switch on the lighting system? they do not come on when ignition starts.

The LED eyebrows do not go on with the drl's. Drl's are AE's only.

Brow comes on only with the light switch on position.

Yup, I worded my reply wrong, Only the Angel eyes come on with DRL for the LCI e60's. and the eyebrows will come on only when you turn on the light switch. Man... I wish I had an LCI.
