You opened the headlights and taped the amber lens? Either way, doesn't look too bad!

nice and clean duct tape job. I'll post a pic of my lil' mod too as soon as I take one. Its a holder for the aux power adaptor mounted on console. It works for me, no more storage in glovebox.

Hmmm Looks fimiliar! lol

Nice one, but as you went to the trouble of taking out your headlights, you should have replaced the bulb or used heat sense paint to do away with the orange one. Gives it a much more clear look.

I had a similar problem, so just got some silver temperature paint, and sprayed a light coat over the bulb and all all was perfect! Turned out as you can see in the photos above. Never had any problem and if you think about it, how long are the bulbs ever left flashing anway.

Look up the ebay seller Roveractive. He can help you with OE BMW silver bulbs.
