Gave my X5 a black eye...
    There are other teaser pictures sprinkled somewhere around the forums. The headlight cover isn't sealed yet but just squeezed on. Used Hella RS6 bi-xenon projectors with a ZKW-R clear lens. It is powered by Morimoto 3Five 35 watt D2S ballasts and Morimoto 4300K bulbs. A TRS Can-bus ensures that I get more low-beam error. The high beam bowl is painted with VHT Nightshades. I didn't get the coating perfect but there are still reflective properties in the bowl so the high beam does work. However, the bi-xenon projector eliminates the need for a high beam at all so that is why I proceeded to tint the high beam bowl. Finally something that makes me unique.

glad it didn't involve speed and bruises..
pretty sure I'm not the only member that automatically responded " ahhh Nah, not another one! " Do you plan to disable the DRL entirely? +1 on can't wait to see how your girl looks with her new make-up!

These are originally Voltexmotoring headlights from eBay. Cracked them open and did all the retrofit work. The angel eyes light up yellow but a little white still leaks through on the edges - barely noticeable to me even. I'm leaving the DRL's on as all it does is open the high beam solenoid when on.
I just don't want to bake another light as that is that is the hardest part. Edit: Here are some other pictures. One is of the cutoff @ 18ft so the color isn't perfect. One is of the AE's without enough coats of yellow tint. I installed the lights last night to pre-aim them and it aimed up perfectly with the OEM line - I just forgot pictures as it was cold but it is a huge improvement; the halogens barely had enough width to light up a 2 car garage, but the xenon projectors had amazing width. I also don't know why people love LED AE's. These CCFL's are plenty bright enough in the daytime! They are yellow and not OEM color but I am fine with the results.     Do you guys think I should just install the drivers side light while I'm still working on my passenger side?  It will truly be a "black" eye in that case.

if you're changing the side markers on your fender to clear go all clear, otherwise keep a tinge of amber like on the headlight on the top
