Alright....
I think I am officially the first person to ever to this....
I have played with the idea of upgrading my headlight eyebrows for about a year now. but since the headlight can not be taken apart I havent done much.. I was on ebay about 2 months ago and come accross a set of eyebrows for an E60 for sale.. Seperated from the headlight just the top part so I purchased them.. I realized that the 6 leds sit on one circuit located towards the back of the brow.. I purchased the Super White leds from Radio Shack removed (and by remove I mean ripped out) the OEM Amber ones on the circuit and soldiered on the new ones.
The next challenge was how to remove the section of the eyebrow from the headlight without breaking it.. This was much harder, you have to literally cut the rubber around the entire section. I dont recommend anyone to attempt this unless you are very handy as you can damage the headlight and would have to buy a new one. I'm also including a few pictures from the progress. If anyone attempt to replicate this do it at your own risk and Just remember I did it first.. LOL
Ohh ya... and the pictures also show my newly installed Euro Stickers.....
