I've been thinking...

So looking at my X5's headlights the other day, I was thinking that the orange corners really do behumble the truck's face. So what I was thinking of doing, and I need your guys' opinion on this, is to order the clear corner headlights from eBay, BMW Canada, etc and take them to the stealer to have them swapped out. I mean, they should be identical other than no orange corners, right? What do you guys think??

It would be much more affordable to take out or trim the ambers off yourself. But I know 'the bake' isn't on everyone's fav list. Your call, but seems a steep price for just going clear. (since your '05 presumably already has xenon & Angels). Does look sweet clear, tho!

That's exactly what I did. I had my bodyshop do the swap though.

Oh, ok! where did you get yours, if I may ask?
