^Thanks so much guys, I'm ecstatic with the updated look, I had Caesar @ Lightwerkz do the labor for me and most of my stock parts from my xenons were swapped over, and I had to source those LED rings, and then I had the new lenses wrapped in clear film (Xpel Ultimate) by Phil Yiu at Detailers Domain, he did a great job!

Sorry for the text and pics all over the place I will try to clean the post up now (posted from Tapatalk on my phone last night)

Was a long time from start to finish between researching and saving up for the job but it totally gave the OEM+, updated look I wanted.

Only things left for me are to perhaps get some running boards gently used and a Shark Injector tune to smooth it out a bit this friggin body will rust out before I ever sell the X.

-Spyder E53 headlights (they come with CCFL rings in them from the factory) - they look like facelifted Euro xenons
-Retrofitted with EvoXR bi-xenon projectors, splitters on the stock halogen high beam so I now have "quad high beams"
-Stealth turn signal bulbs
-Sourced proper sized and shaped SMD LED rings from a seller in China, very affordable considering a popular vendor sells for $200 for a set
-XPel Ultimate on the new lenses
-Swapped self leveling motors, ballast tray, bulb gaskets, and back covers as well as stock vents from my OE Hella housings onto the new Spyder housings

Mr.Couch is on a distinguished road
I hate to bump such an old thread but I was wondering if some of these OG's had some input for me.

I currently have EvoXR projectors swapped into my Xenon OEM headlights motors swapped over as well. I have a dilemma, I have a scuff deep enough to warrant a lens replacement on the drivers side. I have replacement lens's coming shortly but I also have a set of DEPO's in pretty good shape.

Here's what i'm looking for an answer on.

Option 1) Does the DEPO lens have the clear reflector built into it where I can swap them over to my upgraded OEM units and call it a day? I really want the clear sidemarker lens but I REALLY don't want angel eyes. This would be the ideal situation. considering I love the performance of my headlights, just want to rid them of the amber corner & I do not want to just remove the amber part (break them off) since It looks odd to me.

Option 2) Take the DEPO lights, swap new projectors in (2.5 inch ones), swap shrouds with something nicer, might as well put the new lens on these, See if I can remove the angel eyes all together. Much more work

What do you guys think?
