Question Clearing out Headlights in an 03

I checked out the guides, but didnt find one. I'm thinking about angel eyes too, but if they void my warranty i dont think ill do it. plus i cant find a kit for an 03. but can someone please give me some advice on clearing out my headlights. and how hard of a mod do you consider this? thanks in advance.

The headlights on a 2003 X5 are impossible to open. You'll need to get a set of pre-'03 headlights. It is a pretty simple mod if you take your time.

Yes, of course. If you meant "post-04", the answer is no.

If memory serves they must be made no later than 08/2002. The date stamp is on each lamp unit. Units after that date had the "super glue" sealer which makes them impossible to open.
