Wow, even pre-facelift have probs with clear corner headlight options?! Come on, there has got to be a better option out there. Try a PM to Mrbmwx5. I'm sure Tom could get those suckers open and maybe even do all the work. OEM HLs with AEs added and clear/paint the corners.

Shame you had to go through all that and still nothing. Good Luck!

Ya what a big pain! I tried aftermarket DEPO, I tried to open mine, and Weasel had a set he was going to open and alter for me as well, but they were after the glue change so no luck there. I talked to the ebay vendor Fishcake, and i guess he will be getting some DEPO lights in that I'll be able install and use with my stock xenon components. It will take about 30-45 days though. Hopefully it happens sooner! My car looks great from all angles except the front.. I'll send any updates along!

I still wish I was able to find a way to open the 10/02 headlights..... I hate feeling conquered by something so stupid as a glue. (I may still try other options for opening as they present themselves)

LOL, make sure you let me know if you come up with anything!

They're Maya, I think the company is out of business now though. I love em, they have the same staggered dimensions as 87's but a huge lip polished lip.

They look good, I have TSW Snettertons staggered, I wanted your look but couldnt find the rim, I have the same color truck. Also I am selling it if you know someone. Did you lower yours, I am trying to figure out how to get the self leveling inact off my gauge cluster, any idea?

Thanks! I was thinking of refinishing after this summer since the lip is getting a bit cloudy. I was thinking of a darker gunmetal gray, what do you think?

About the autolevel inact warning. I'm not exactly sure how you can turn it off/repair it. I had that same warning when I installed aftermarket headlights and ballasts, but once I put my stock back in, it went away. I read a thread here once about that same warning turing on for a number or reasons possibly unrelated to your suspension, such as certain blown fuses. But do a search or ask some more savvy members here. I'm sure you'll find some help.
