Actually doesn't apply to him since he has LCI.

My friend I are working on another possible method for the LCI's. If it ever gets figured out, we'll offer it up to the board.

The last SMD LED that powers the eyebrow itself is expensive. $35 cost for that single SMD LED. The rest of the SMD LEDs aren't that expensive. I just turned my eyebrows off. Not a big fan of it anyway.

you can do it, but you have to butcher your headlight housing to get to it, and then try and reseal it. not worth it in my opinion.

there is no bmw part number for that led strip. if they go out, bmw would have you replace the whole headlight.
