Headlight Retrofit Help

N0Chill 335i · 08-03-2014, 04:23 PM

Is there a website I can find the highlighted part of these headlights? Somewhere that has a selection of these parts I can use to do my DIY retrofit on my pre lci e92.

Many thanks for any assistance.

I've been searching online all day. I've found options for EVERYTHING else in the headlight... but not this 1 part. It's driving me crazy.

try oneightyncy.com, they made that headlight

If you have the guts, you can do this very easily. get some sticky strips of tape or whatever else. They have to be 100% straight though. Then place tape the areas that you want light to shine through and paint with black spray paint. Once that is done, peel off the tape and boom.
The tricky thing is taping it perfectly and I am pretty sure that's what these custom headlight companies do. I have seen where they even cute the stripes and make holes that are filled with acrylic or something. This is tricky and i'm sure the turn signal shrouds are either custom made via a CAD software or they use a laser cutter of some sort to achieve the 'cut' look

Your example, however, seem to ave just used tape and paint.
