F32 headlight modification?
Anyone done any modifications to there oem headlights? On my old e92 I removed the lens and added halo rings and blacked out all the chrome. I like my headlight angel eyes but think it'd look good dechromed. Anyone know if it's e same process of heating the glue and pulling lens off?

As far as I've seen videos of it, yes it's just a matter of heating the housing to remove the lens and resealing it properly.
You could always send your head lights to OSS Designs or Bayoptiks to have it professionally done. Eventually I'm going to have OSS Designs customize my head lights as I need a new lens on both and might as well get some carbon fiber and a sequential blinker/eyebrow installed while we're at it. Personally I'm not brave enough to mess with a $1500 item if not done right lol. |

I’m modifying my icons, I have a blueghozt module to make the rings and eyebrow addressable. The major draw back so far has been sourcing new lenses.. there’s one guy in Europe who gets the best quality ones but he’s been out of stock for months, the eBay ones however are awful quality.

I ended up sourcing LCI lenses. The main difference is the cutline that goes down the outer portion of the face. Took my time on them due to complications and other projects.
