Also, good Job opening them, its not easy is it???

this is what i did with mine. and this was REAL CF, not a CF sticker or anything.

I've found that Permatex black silicone adhesive works Very well for sealing them back up

wow it wasn't easy AT ALL lol
look about an hour and half pre each headlight...the seal on it is just way too strong lol

hmm permatex black silicone...where do u get them at? home depot?

i used betalink all around but didnt use enough i guess

Good luck with the search for the adaptive module, I hope you can find one ASAP!

Good luck with that... when i took delivery of my car a month ago , the rar cover of the headlight was not completely close and some water got in. then condensation builded up and fried my leveling sensors. First the lights started moving up and down every few seconds and finally the light with condensation just stared to the sky ..like a dead person

took to the delarship, they had to roder a new light, new leveling sensor and it needed programming!!!
So that is why i say good luck!

You can buy this silicone at just about any automotive store. This stuff is awesome because it is flexible and an adhesive as well. I used about 3/4 of a bottle of this stuff per headlight just to make sure it sealed correctly.

Take some more pics, lets see how it looks

montreal_bimmer · 07-26-2007, 10:50 AM

what a job.... at least they look good....

finally, some pics of the headlights on the car

its funny though because after the mod, my mom made me order new set of headlights because she doesnt want any "problems with the warranty"..

i tried to convince her, so what my "headlight" warranty's gone, it doesnt really affect other parts warranty that i have left on the vehicle. and that she can buy me a procede (lol) with the money shes going to put in for my car lol.
but eh, she didnt want to listen to me so i ended up ordering a set of euros (wit her approval of course)

That looks really good!!!

Dom,

where have you been? He did this AGES ago...

Chesmu · 08-01-2007, 08:19 PM

Dude...

that looks great!

I still don't trust myself to open up the headlights without breaking something...

ejazbmw · 08-01-2007, 08:35 PM

that looks really good man...i could never get myself to open my headlights

Josh49 · 08-01-2007, 09:26 PM

Those pictures a few post back look great..

spacedogg · 08-01-2007, 09:34 PM

That looks very sharp!

I wonder how it would look like on non-black cars...maybe others can colour match the colour of the reflector to their car...

That looks really awesome! Good job dude.

TiAg335i · 08-01-2007, 10:07 PM

Doesn't look worth the effort...but the job itself looks very good..hopefully bmw will much a change to the headlight design for the E90 soon..

ALPINE6SPD · 08-02-2007, 11:04 AM

are you going to sell those?

Rando · 08-02-2007, 11:05 AM

Can you guys take shots from the front (head-on) ? It would be awesome to see both the CF and the "euros" from there...

Thanks!

mds82 · 08-02-2007, 12:14 PM
