Surprised no one is manufacturing these, i.e. pre-LCI headlamps retrofitted with halo rings. You'd think there'd be decent profit in providing a less expensive alternative to purchasing LCI headlamps outright.

blue dragon will become famous soon enough
This isn't the 3 series, there just isn't enough volume for this to be profitable. Would you really give up your adaptive headlights for some depo kit with crappy projectors just because it had LED corona rings?

Point well taken. Was thinking they could also refurbish pre-LCI OEMs, but agreed the volume prbly wouldn't justify the overhead.

I'm certain obtaining a seal comparable to the original OEM is no engineering feat, particularly given all the other issues brought to light on this forum.
