Hello,
I live in France and I can not find these LEDs.
Radioshack does not send in France.
Someone could buy it and send them to me?
I can pay by paypal.
Thank you

Don't break it. There's are 3 tabs on the top, use a flat head screwdriver to pry it apart. Try not to break it because its a bit brittle. Follow that plastic casing around to the bottom of the headlight, there's another tab. Once removing the plastic casing you can access the eyebrow part. My first headlight I did I just cut it off with a dremel tool and ended up having to buy a new casing.

Great job on the mod, I do however love the amber as an eyebrow, too much white is not good, like the contrast.
My only issue is that moister is in the eyebrow section, not sure how to get rid of it.

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.....
