E90 Headlight Housing

Beemer or nothing · 02-19-2008, 03:22 AM

Hi All

i previously owned a e46 and managed to dismantle the headlights and spray paint the inner housing silver . Has anyone tried this as yet on the E90 as it looks a bit complicated. Please perhaps post threads or pics

He wants to paint the inside of the housing silver like the E46 330 headlights. The E46 325 was black. Some other people paint them to match their car's colors to make it look more custom.
