Hi Silver5,
Re: removing the lenses/ waffles, it seems to go hand in hand with DDE installation. The few who've installed Angels without clearing the waffles usually went back in & removed them, since they obscure the angels.
Re: pics, I haven't seen pics on an X5 with the titanium, but it's an OEM/bosch option on the E46 lights. like this one:

It's pretty subtle, but nice. Depending on exterior color, I think painted HL trim could look clean, and only effect would be amplifying AEs if you go with a light color. Choice of paint & topcoat can control the gloss, too. I've been too busy to paint em, and I admit I'm a bit wary (been searching for X5 examples). It looks like this weekend will be all-clear, so I'm looking forward to it.
PS- plenty of examples in the forums of body-paint matching too, if that's of interest.
