08 E90 Lights

Are there any replacements worth doing or is OSS the only option? I hate the amber in the corners and just the entire look of the pre-lci lights!

Euro spec lights are an option

bake them open and remove them is an option

Where can I get the overlays without having to spend $50+ for it? Seems a bit overpriced for such a small piece.

I know there's an eBay item available, but it's only smoked (I want to match my Jet Black paint ideally), plus he doesn't ship to Canada.

:X I don't think the OEM ones are that easy to open. Take a lot of elbow grease according to longtran's DIY and what lightwerkz said.
