Pre-LCI Custom Eyebrows - Amber delete

I have a 2007 323i E90 sedan, with OEM halogens. My plan is to eventually change the headlights to get some angel eyes (may go OEM LCI), but seeing that headlights are a bit pricey, thought I'd do a "stage 1" headlight modification to get rid of the ugly ambers in the meantime.

I found overlays to be overpriced for what they are ($50-100 plus taxes/shipping), and am not a fan of the eyebrows seen on eBay.

I decided to get a custom vinyl eyebrow instead, and contact Ran (user: ran_i_am), and he did a fantastic job of creating the eyebrow based on my description. I highly recommend contact Ran for any vinyl wrapping needs if you're in the GTA. I'll be getting my interior trim done soon too!

Feedback / comments appreciated. Thanks!

It seemed like a lot of work opening pre-lci lights, so I thought I'd give this quick and easy solution a try first.

I'm actually pretty impressed with it, and since some of the amber still shows, it's still 100% legal too!

I agree with you but I am also scared to open up my pre-LCI e90 xenons. Do you have a DIY?

BTW Ive done my e46 M3, R32, 20th GTI, and prob some more but people are always saying these are a pita. Is that true (compared to others)???

Wow, maybe the pics don't do it justice, or my taste is just a bit off from the rest, but I think it's a big improvement over the stock look.

To each their own I guess. Appreciate the feedback regardless.
