question, while youre waiting on the orions to come in, why not order a second clear lens for the inner light? it would look a lot cleaner. i think simon did the double clear lens on his LCI total blackout right?


just a thought.

He did dual projectors. In fact the LCI (maybe xenon version) has clear lens already and I ordered clear lens too. So I got an extra set of clear lens.

smart man, you've thought of everything so far....

i cant wait to get busy with these virgin headlights on my M5 but a big piece of me really wants to step up to LCI headlights....however, papa needs an evosport pulley, meistershaft GT2 rear cans and a new set of 3-Piece wheels before i drop any cash on cosmetic mods lol

but i will be using this thread and the Sabine as inspiration on these Pre-LCIs though

Yep my Euro-spec non-Adaptive LCI headlight has darken clear lens on the inner/smaller reflector as oppose to the frosted one.

My conversion from 3 yrs ago = http://forums.5serie...d-my-headlights

Maybe you should chime in their vendors classified thread. That should speed things up

Test piece. Not sure on the design yet or whether I want to do it. Think it'll take away from the red lens look. The design needs to be a lot smaller.

if i may impart an opinion....keep it clean, youre already doing so much....make the red the focal point and let everything else support it. dropping in the bmw logo might make things busy. great thinking tho, as you can see im watching this thread closely!

Thanks. Added a few more pics. Yeah, I figured I'd try it just to see how it'll look. Wasn't planning on doing it after I've seen the red.

Thing that inspired me.
