With enough time, $$ and effort, anything is possible. I'm sure they are just LED's soldered to a board. I'm an e46 owner (hopefully a pre-LCI e90 owner by next weekend) so I'm not sure if the e90/e92/LCI e90 headlights are sealed or not. My LCI-Sedan 46's are not, and thats how everyone installs "halo's" fairly easily. If these headlights come apart as easily as mine, it should be possible. If they are sealed, well, then you either have to use a heat-gun and lots of screw-drivers to pry them apart, or do the oven-baking technique. Neither of which sound like fun on such an expensive car. I would price the headlights (or one) prior to trying to pry or bake them apart. That way you'll know what it will cost you in advance, should you fail or mess something up... My guess is that they are sealed, or I think every pre-LCI e90 owner would have popped his/hers apart and taken out the amber reflectors, or swapped for clear. As opposed to spending thousands for "euro-spec" headlights...

yes, i know that the e46 headlights are not sealed because i helped a friend of mine to install his angel eyes yet the LCI headlights may by a totally different thing....
i've just ordered led angel eyes from electronicwoot and i was thinking that changing those e leds from orange to white would be a nice mod to do; i guess that it should be a way to change them, i mean what happens if one of them burns? |
