BTW: You are an idiot if you follow this. Why cant you do a search before you ask?
WRONG.... sorry - this works for the e46 headlights not the E90's..

you need to keep the orange reflector in there, you need to cover it up from the inside though

I used the vinyl overlays from jlevi on my car. They look great and go on in like 10 min.

Car is real dirty. They salt the roads everyday here

Nice Carbon Cover on your headlights. Gosh I need some help in this area. Could I take it somewhere to get this done. Or how would you go about this if hypothetically youre not as technically skilled in these kind of things like I am?

haha, he made them. Cheapest way is to make your own clear reflectors.
May be the cheapest but its also the hardest, just depends how bad you want them. Good luck to you

Your best bet would be to get euro headlights or get a vinyl overlay to cover up the amber
