View Full Version : Where to find clear headlights for the X5? R1OneWheel 01-12-2005, 10:30 PM Where can I find clear headlights for the X5? I was hoping an after market carrier made them because OEMs are over $900 for the pair. Hella told me Hella Germany has them but I can't find em. Umnitza says no one makes them and to disassemble the stock light myself taking out the amber lense, replacing it with a clear and to "bake" it back on...but screw that! My stock headlights look like $hit... R1OneWheel 01-12-2005, 10:31 PM this is what I want! R1OneWheel 01-12-2005, 10:31 PM The expensive BMW OEM option... R1OneWheel 01-12-2005, 10:36 PM my rears only cost $300 to clear out, OEM. Too bad the fronts cost so damn much OEM Preppy 01-13-2005, 12:17 AM yeah i dunno what to tell you man, just learn to live with them? :dunno R1OneWheel 01-13-2005, 04:55 PM yeah i dunno what to tell you man, just learn to live with them? :dunno But, it can be done. I see tons of X5's on cardomain with clear headlights. My search continues!

Contact www.customangeleyes.com , they do those conversions. So basically, they're taking apart the housings, removing the amber, and putting them back together?
