LED AngelEye Retrofit...How would you have yours? Pics inside
Share your 2 cents!!!
Who has the most creative mind? Maybe there is something unique or different that no one has done yet If you had the choice... how would you have yours done? Here are some examples... Body Coloured Shrouds Gloss Black Black out with OEM Shrouds Full Black out with red accents and LCI style indicators Plain simple full satin black out? Something FUNKY! Triple Rings? |

in the flesh... I loved the triple rings on your car josh, also the high gloss base that your lights had.
However I would look to find a solution for the indicator signals... ruins the neat, clean finish. IF I was to get them for my car... It would be a high gloss 'black out' and then the actual shrouds colour coded in Monaco Blue. I wouldn't go anywhere near adding a '//M' decal, or embossing the lettering. Keep it clean and simple, almost black out but with a slight colour code... but not sure what I would do with the indicator... the LCI is a bit busy, and removed is a bit stark :S

Totally agree mate! There was an option which has only been done a handful of times in the states.
I have seen people use the LCI indicators covers from the E90 LCI and retrofit them into the E92 housing. BUT that was expensive as it involved buying a set of LCI E90 headlights just to pull a single assembly from it. |

Josh I blacked out the inside of the indicator on mine and then fitted the frosted glass over the top with the LED bulb thing inside. I tried it without the glass and I didn't like the look.
I would take a pic but that would mean going outside in the rain! Which rings do you use? Luce Produkt ones? I prefer the full ring ones you use over the Umnitza ones with the bar across the top. |

its got to be dependent upon the car and theme you have going. If not theme them black all round is a safe option, but equally I think it is very easy to go overboard as well so not always would a theme work. It will need to be very subtle imo.
As for triple rings, I am not going to comment! |

Would love to get that full satin black lights on my car
Shame it'd be very expensive to return to stock as LCI lights are still around £500 a pair
