New E90 LCI Headlight

11-21-2022:
Just wanted to share my new headlights and vivid hex wrap.

3-29-2023:
Update on the headlights after 4 month use.
They are still running strong. No condensation because I double sealed them. I will definitely take off the vivid hex wrap after winter ends. It causes a bad reflection in the sunlight that makes it look like I am not signaling at all.
I will probably look into getting a light smoke tint, for the summer time.

5-9-2023:
Just purchased light smoke tints, once they arrive will be pulling the hex tint off and putting them on

8-21-2023:
Headlight tint was installed, procrastinated all summer cause I didnt wanna remove the bumper.

8-23-2023:
Video below shameless plug.

In my opinion, you should remove the wrap and showcase the new headlights, that actually look decent.

They are a complete housing set

Website says:
Compatible w/ Models with Halogen Headlights Only
Compatible w/ 4DR Sedan Only
Not Compatible w/ Models with Xenon HID Headlights


Although my E90 is the LCI version with adaptive headlights I managed to get them working.

Picture of the cutoff? And please don't tint your headlights, why would you want to lower your lux output?

What cutoff sorry?

And yes I agree! Its a clear tint with a reflective rainbow shine. The inside housing is black. I'll be taking it off in the next few weeks for summer.

You're just making your light output worse by doing this. And I'm guessing those headlights have worse output then the stock e90 Xenons..

Oho no, their output is extremely bright. It was just the turn signal output that was reduced cause of the rainbow reflection over the amber.
(Not like BMW peeps use our signals anyways) haha
