Wow, even pre-facelift have probs with clear corner headlight options?! Come on, there has got to be a better option out there. Try a PM to Mrbmwx5. I'm sure Tom could get those suckers open and maybe even do all the work. OEM HLs with AEs added and clear/paint the corners.

Shame you had to go through all that and still nothing. Good Luck!

Ya what a big pain! I tried aftermarket DEPO, I tried to open mine, and Weasel had a set he was going to open and alter for me as well, but they were after the glue change so no luck there. I talked to the ebay vendor Fishcake, and i guess he will be getting some DEPO lights in that I'll be able install and use with my stock xenon components. It will take about 30-45 days though. Hopefully it happens sooner! My car looks great from all angles except the front.. I'll send any updates along!

I still wish I was able to find a way to open the 10/02 headlights..... I hate feeling conquered by something so stupid as a glue. (I may still try other options for opening as they present themselves)

LOL, make sure you let me know if you come up with anything!

Will do!

RPX5 where did you get those wheels?

RPX5 08-02-2009 02:28 PM

They're Maya, I think the company is out of business now though. I love em, they have the same staggered dimensions as 87's but a huge lip polished lip.

TopazBlueX5 08-02-2009 08:52 PM

They look good, I have TSW Snettertons staggered, I wanted your look but couldnt find the rim, I have the same color truck. Also I am selling it if you know someone. Did you lower yours, I am trying to figure out how to get the self leveling inact off my gauge cluster, any idea?

RPX5 08-03-2009 03:03 PM

Thanks! I was thinking of refinishing after this summer since the lip is getting a bit cloudy. I was thinking of a darker gunmetal gray, what do you think?

About the autolevel inact warning. I'm not exactly sure how you can turn it off/repair it. I had that same warning when I installed aftermarket headlights and ballasts, but once I put my stock back in, it went away. I read a thread here once about that same warning turing on for a number or reasons possibly unrelated to your suspension, such as certain blown fuses. But do a search or ask some more savvy members here. I'm sure you'll find some help.
