the headlights are back safe and sound on my car and even though dk is a great photographer those pics don't do it justice you can only truly appreciate the work that went into the restoration up close. you really out did yourselves the lights look amazing no more scratches, no more yellow, no more water just perfectly clear lens and great looking lights unfortunately while i did take some b4 shots they were with my camera phone and it really hard to see how bad they were maybe dk will post his before pictures to get an idea of how bad they were but here it is on my car

They are stock lights but they were blacked out and had orions added to them. Its not an original idea though I had Simon do mine for me. I'd say about 10 - 20 members have also completed this mod since then . https://5series.net/forums/topic/115...with-blackout/
