Default 3rd GS Headlight Retro!!!!

Oops I did it again...LOL I get a kick out of doing these when I have the spare time. This is another X5 projector with fingerprinted BMW 46 shrouds that need a cleaning lol. This is what I have so far painting them over again tomorrow closing them up and figuring out what to do with them next.

Oooh! Aahhhh! I see the light, and it is good!

Look good. Let's see some night pics.

Are you going to do this to all your spare sets of GS headlights?

Is the "XENON" imprint on the wrong side?

They are now HID projectors. OEM 2GS headlights were either halogen or HID reflectors.

Mounted the projectors, took out the orange turn signal plastic for a better look no? and repainted the housing. Will let dry completely for a day then put the lenses on after I clean up the shrouds and high beam reflectors from all those damn fingerprints. XENON imprint on the right side just for you Neo

Looks sharp buddy!


awesome.... simply Awesome!!!

I'm especially loving the intricate detail when you look closer into the headlight and see the Xenon imprint.... for some reason it just adds to the flavor. Definitely HOTTT!!!!
