I don't think he's making them anymore.
Any other ways of going about acquiring those?

are you guys just trying to pull the outer lens off to get to the guts of the headlight. Ive never done it on a bmw headlight light but all the others ive done all I did was put it in the oven set at 225 degrees for 2-5 mins and that softens the plastic and adhesive enough to seperate the two halves.

when i said F10 flair....im referring to the frosted eyebrows but i will be masking a portion of it before i paint so that the LEDs will not be masked....but their residual light will illuminate the frosted portions....hard to describe but im wrapping my paint tonight and will post pics soon....wish me luck!
Goddamn the F10's headlights look sexy. 
If you don't mind me asking... What are you going to be doing as far as "a little F10 OEM flair"? I'm very curious - might even wait until you do yours before I crack mine open

I hate to steal umichchris's thunder, but devildawg picked up his headlights early this morning (6-7 hour drive from Norcal, arrived at 3AM), and I am hoping he'll put up some pics later on when he catches up on sleep. I have refrained from posting pictures of my finished work, so not to spoil the a particular special surprise I was able to do to his headlights.
Let's just say what I did, it cannot be replicated on US headlights, which possibly means that devildawg will likely be the only person with this set in America

Pics will be up soon. Unfortunately, it's not something that is possible with US headlights anyway. Unless you obtain the parts from an Euro headlight.

Damn. All this is making me want to do this mod. I gotta start getting parts to start this. 
Man, can't wait to see what you've done Simon. Now where's devildawg with the pics?
