I have the same issue, but lights have to wait, for now.

I remember the first time I was driving mine and another 4.8 passed me but looked nicer somehow. Both vehicles were washed and waxed, but I kept staring at the other one trying to figure out what it was. I went home, started digging around and realized that vehicle had LCI lights. That was the moment I decided an LCI mod was in my future.

Looks great! It makes a subtle but much needed improvement.

I'll be putting this style bumper on my X soon, as well as an Msport front bumper. (Hopefully)

Yours looks so nice!!!

Same here, I was wondering at first few years ago what the difference is between this and the pre-lci. We have trained eyes now

Crowz will become famous soon enough
Installed a rexing dashcam. So far I like it. It doesn't stick out like a sore thumb so that's a big plus. I will try to remember to post some pics of it eventually.

It has wifi for getting the movies off if I don't want to take the sd card out. I also used a 128 gig sd card so the 4k videos it makes are not a problem.

Polished headlights

With steerable bi-Xenon headlights, the cost of replacement was rediculous...over $3k. So, in steps 3M’s Heavy duty repair kit and 6 hours of labor. Result? So worth the time. Your thoughts?

Did you put any type of sealer on top of all that work? Looks very nice.

I did this a while back, but never posted it... The start button looked horrible since it was mostly white (peeling and words worn off) and needed some type of fix, so after much searching I found a mini BMW roundel with adhesive on the back and just covered it up. Been there for about 10 months and looks factory.

I have a headlight restore kit but haven't done it. X5 needs it bad.
