Can the lense be removed? I havn't really looked at them yet. If they can then im sure the yellow piece can be removed/replaced. Has anyone tried removing the lense yet?

Rodybmw, very interesting. I never noticed the difference before. I just went out and took a look at mine and you're right.
I have a German spec e60 and I have the triangular piece with the horizontal lines. Really interesting...

Ok guys im going to try it.
Rodybmw,
Can you please get some TIS information on how to remove the headlights? Also it would be a great help to know if the battery needs to be disconnected. Also, is there anything about the lense coming off?
Thank You very Much

I'm not sure if disconnecting the battery will cause any trouble on the e60's software or the system.
I noticed, that my dealer (when he replaced the battery) he connected the car to a charger/transformer or something to give the car's system power, even when the battery is disconnected.
I don't know if this was just a nice precaution service for me of saving my settings or if there might be any trouble after the battery disconnection...

i asked my salesperson the day that i picked the car. i asked if i could remove the yellow reflectors or simply change them to clear. he told me i have to replace the whole lens. he wasn't sure how much but he said both lenses will be very expensive, definitely over $1k. zippers525, good luck on your project and please let us know if it works.
