For optimal results find the best headlight builder for your project and ship the lights to them, unless you just happen to be local to a quality craftsman then it will be best to have the light remotely built. Evan

I recommend wearing gloves and using a Dremel first to cut the first lip off, then pry them open little by little with a flathead screwdriver while cutting through the excess Permaseal with a razor blade. Once you see how the headlights are held together, it's pretty self-explanatory how to proceed. I have to say I was unsure for a while if I was going to take this DIY on. Needless to say, I wish I had tackled it sooner! I'll keep you posted! Last edited by GearHead335i; 01-29-2018 at 02:15 PM.. |

Anyone the owner of these headlights?
Just want to see what they look like on the car. Made by OSS several years ago. I can see it's a PreLCI light with an LCI Halogen Eyebrow installed inside. Looks great. I'm going to replicate it but just wondering about installing an LED eyebrow over the angel eyes? This seems common on the E92 / E93 but I've not seen one E90 with an LED eyelid... |

So I’ve done a few e82 and f10 headlights with baking and heat gun.
For some reasons these e90 lci headlights keep cracking at the channels. Any tips? Not sure if it’s because these ones are almost 12 years old compared to the ones I’ve done. Never tried cutting but leaning towards it now. |

If you can't get the lens off with prying then it's best to cut it off close to the channel, remove the lens, and then you can cut out the sealant from the channel now that you have access from both sides, fully clear the channels, and finally buy some new OEM lenses from BMWJakes. If you plan on cutting and reinstalling the lens then pony up and buy a high power ultrasonic cutter ($800+). If you plan on cutting and reinstalling with a dremel or multi-tool, don't, just don't. Do it right or don't do it. Evan

Nice looking car. I was wondering what mine would look like with black grill and black wheels. Might need to do that.
