[tbal69]

I took the lights apart today, and it looked alot different then the pix posted iin the how to sections. and seems like theres extended portion behind the light it self, bulb and housing seem permantly attached to the light? Not sure if all x5s have this.. but mine has auto adjusting lights, is that what it is?

I wanna do this mod, wuts up, any helpppppppppp

Can you post some pics as to what you mean.

You must have an early prod date 03, as most are unable to be opened.

Its hard to describe what I am trying to say.. can you say newb lol
But if its 2003, am I wasting my time? I saw few 03s with angel eyes mod tho?

No problem, that's what all this knowledge is here for. Normally folks with an 03 model will buy pre-03 headlights so that they can do the mod. Usually can be found on ebay, not sure of prices though, or how bad you want to do this mod.

[xnsf]

it's near the weatherstripping on your headlight...

it looks like a clock. it points to the month and the year is in the middle
