A few of our members have split their headlights on pre 2004 X,s to give the headlights a clear look,to install angel eyes & to remove the amber indicator lens. In my opinion, this mod does give the car a very clean look.
I'm not bothered about the angel eyes but i do want to lose the amber lens,this however means i have to split the headlights,this i'm not to confident in doing,as i have Xenons,but may get round to it one day.
What i'm not sure about is,if all the lens inserts are removed this must affect the beam pattern of the lights.
Has a member done this mod & had trouble with
(1) dazzling other road uses &
(2) failing an MOT(UK annual car test) or US equivalent, due to incorrect beam pattern.
