Hey bmw4life,
What's to stop someone from peeling off the pinstripes? Hmm... you might go to the Socal Meet with the "Euro" headlights and end up leaving with the good ole US amber headlights.
I had mine on when we had our last SoCal meet.........luckily there were no stripe swipers around

Everytime I meet up with ICEMAN 316, bmw4life and now alpinewhite, I know that their Euro-spec headlights are nothing more than tape but I keep forgetting to peel it off. At Bimmerfest 2007 I did notice though that the tape was peeling off from ICEMAN 316's headlights.

Anyone can give me info on WHERE to get the pin stripes that were used in this DIY?? Seems like they are hard to find. I live in the Chicago suburbs.

Thanks,
