Does anyone like the pre Lci e90 amber reflectors?

Rons335i · 09-01-2012, 07:05 AM

Doesn't bother me as much as a lot of people in this forum. I actually kinda like them. Never felt that great about the eyebrows and covers

Bothered me so I fixed it (Removed from the inside)

Same here. They're starting to grow on me. I went out and bought a Kamei eyebrow trim kit and it's still sitting in my basement. Plus during the day when they're off, you don't really notice them so much depending on the angle and ambient lighting. Support the ambers... who is with us?

I don't hate them

They don't really "bother" me but I do like the Euro ones.

^ About how long did it take you to do? Difficult? I have considered doing this myself.

I want the Euro ones. I just don't want to do it, from the DIY on just to remove them looks like a PITA.

Looks really clean without them.

I had it done for me by OSS, but the process is cutting open the housing (On the E90 you can't bake the headlights) and resealing.

I don't hate them, but given the chance to remove them I would do it. I have been trying to talk myself out of OSS blackout lights for a while. If I found a local place that could do it I would jump on it. I just don't like the thought of mailing my headlights cross-country. I have Xenons so my upgrade options are very limited, unless I found someone with modified Xenons who wanted to do a "back to stock" swap (unlikely!). I'm weighing my options...

I will say that I like the orange reflectors more than I like the look of those vinyl stickers that "cover them up." I have tried 2 sets of those and they never looked good enough to me, so I tossed them.
