Is there a way to mod the orange corners > clear ?

Has anyone in the US tried to take the headlight apart and take out the orange part?

Wonder what the euro headlight assemblies go for?

Hmmmm.....

Euro headlights are around $1500 shipped to the US give or take. Not worth it. In short: heating up the lens, removing the amber, and reassembling is the cheapest/most effective way.. but is risky.

So basically, unless you have an absurd amount of money to spend or don't care about condensation... the answer is: no. .. Not yet at least.

There will be a soultion within a year, start contacting distributors, like JLevi's, they usually make all Euro lights and different angel eyes and stuff........you need to create a demand for it and then someone will start to build it........create a poll or a possible group buy for people that may want that particular product

I just got back from the Dealership here near Stockholm in Sweden and the 135 looked so nice without the orange next to the lights...nice clear and white. I hope someone finds a reasonable/reliable/cost effective way to get around this soon...

I plan on spending the $$ for the EU lights. That orange has got to go. It was much easier on my E92. I ordered a set of reflectors and had them painted. Total cost was about $80.
