Need Help with Headlights/WTB
 

I have a quick question. I have the stock amber turnsignal plastic piece in my headlights. (pic1)

I plan on taking the headlight apart and removing the amber piece and putting in angel eyes. I want to replace the amber part with the clear plastic piece with the amber reflector on the side. (pic2)

Im pretty sure the clear turnsignal is found on the 'euro' headlights.(unless oem on 2002-06 x5's) I dont want to pay for the euro headlights, just swap reflector pieces. Does anyone know where I can order these 2 pieces for my headlights? or did anyone have them and removed them and would like to sell them?

Can anyone help? does anyone have this piece laying around that they removed and would want to sell? I would rather pay $20-30 for the plastic pieces instead of around $800 for new euro headlights

if I'm not mistaken I don't believe that piece is sold separately .. you have to buy the entire sport package headlight .... :) good luck :) you might be able to find a set of used headlights on ebay (I noticed you have HID lights ...the other set doesn't have to be HID) that you can take apart and snag the clear corner from

so the 2 tone clear/amber reflectors come on the sport models? I just thought they were on the 'euro' x5's....If so, do you know what years?

check with dave@customangeleyes, i bought 2 pairs of those clear corner reflectors from him

I viewed your Custom X5 page - so you just replaced the corner reflectors? I thought you had to have Euroclears to achieve that look?
I'd love to just replace the corner reflectors - so much cheaper!

Thanks

yes i just replaced the corner lenses.
the corner lenses i bought are the sport package type- clear lense with a little amber.
the one installed on my x are modified- i took out the small amber part ( dremel) but leaving the clear part on the headlight.

[quote=BigBob]yup the clear/amber corners come on the sport package equipped X5s, since the introduction in 2000. After the facelift in 2004, the lights were clear/amber whether you have sport package or not.

What you are looking for came standard with the Sport Package. You need to get a set from a 2000-2002 model so that the glue that seals the headlamp can be heated up in the oven and separated.

I've got an '04 X - so do I still need to purchase new corners or can I just dremel the small amber part out?

i have an 02 X5.
i have not seen anybody on this board who did this mod on a facelifted x5 ( 04 and up) or at least opening up an 04+ headlight. so i cannot answer your question since your x is an 04. BTW, GL

They use a new glue on yours, you can't even take the lights apart on yours :(

Oh well, I guess I won't be able to achieve the "clear" look. It's just not worth the money to replace them with euroclears...unless someone is wanting to dump theirs at a cheap price. :)

is there any company out there that makes a fully clear corner lense for the 00-02 x5's?

I dont think so..Ive been looking for awhile and I could not find any company that makes clear lenses for X5's. The closest you could come to a clear corner lense is to get a pair of the 'sport' clear lenses with the amber reflector on the side and then trim the amber part off.

I just ordered the 'sport' clear lenses from Dave@customangeleyes for $60.. Ive been looking everywhere to try to find them so if your looking for them, he might have a few left. Thanks for the info/help everyone.

The other alternative is taking out the amber reflector and not replacing it with anything...just take out the amber bulbs and replace them with chrome stealth turn signal bulbs (which are unfortunately back ordered) from:

do you have pics of this type of mod?

I will try to post some over the weekend, I still have the orange bulbs in there because JLevis said the stealth bulbs I ordered are on back order. At least you will get an idea of what the headlights will look like without the turn signal lense. I believe this is a common mod and I know that I have seen a few others who have done the AE mod and removed the turn signal lense, try doing an AE mod search and you should find a couple.

Sorry for the delay, here is what my headlights look like. The stealth "chromed" turn signal bulbs will make a huge difference, I ordered them but they have not arrived yet. Hope this helps. The AE's came out great and I like the look of the amber turn signal lense delete:
