Last year in October I made some renders of upgrading the lights and wanted to try something different. Pairing the Euro LCI Blackline tails with a modified set of angel eyes. This isn't my first retrofit, but its the first in which I didn't do a blackout...meaning you have to be super careful working with the chrome otherwise it will scuff/flake off the plastics. I felt that with the car being a darker color, I wanted some contrast against the paint rather than the blacked out look. Ultimately I was able to keep the etched BMW on the eyebrows in chrome while also painting the lower half of the brow to give the headlights a little more dimension/flare. I also modified the projector shield to have a sharper cutoff and painted it black so it matches the inner dummy projector. To complete the "chrome-out" look, I swapped out the turn signal bulb with an all silver casing amber led one to eliminate the egg-yolk look in photos.







As promised here are some pictures that show just how involving the whole process is.
