Need Help with Headlights/WTB

I have a quick question. I have the stock amber turnsignal plastic piece in my headlights. (pic1)

I plan on taking the headlight apart and removing the amber piece and putting in angel eyes. I want to replace the amber part with the clear plastic piece with the amber reflector on the side. (pic2)

Im pretty sure the clear turnsignal is found on the 'euro' headlights.(unless oem on 2002-06 x5's) I dont want to pay for the euro headlights, just swap reflector pieces. Does anyone know where I can order these 2 pieces for my headlights? or did anyone have them and removed them and would like to sell them?

Can anyone help? does anyone have this piece laying around that they removed and would want to sell? I would rather pay $20-30 for the plastic pieces instead of around $800 for new euro headlights

if I'm not mistaken I don't believe that piece is sold separately .. you have to buy the entire sport package headlight .... good luck you might be able to find a set of used headlights on ebay (I noticed you have HID lights ...the other set doesn't have to be HID) that you can take apart and snag the clear corner from

I viewed your Custom X5 page - so you just replaced the corner reflectors? I thought you had to have Euroclears to achieve that look?
I'd love to just replace the corner reflectors - so much cheaper!

Thanks

yes i just replaced the corner lenses.
the corner lenses i bought are the sport package type- clear lense with a little amber.
the one installed on my x are modified- i took out the small amber part ( dremel) but leaving the clear part on the headlight.

yup the clear/amber corners come on the sport package equipped X5s, since the introduction in 2000. After the facelift in 2004, the lights were clear/amber whether you have sport package or not.

What you are looking for came standard with the Sport Package. You need to get a set from a 2000-2002 model so that the glue that seals the headlamp can be heated up in the oven and separated.

I've got an '04 X - so do I still need to purchase new corners or can I just dremel the small amber part out?
