I just bought an E90 335i on Saturday and I hate the front orange side marker on the head lights. I have seen some e90's with clear, where can I buy them and how much does it cost? Do I have to replace the whole thing?
Thank you

European E90's don't have the orange reflectors in the corner of the headlights because they don't have the requirement for amber up front like the USA does.

There was a post on here and E90post a year ago or so about someone who baked apart the lenses and removed the orange but it was not an easy DIY.

I assume you could order Euro spec headlight assemblies, but it will not be cheap since you have to order the entire thing.

ah gotcha. I thought he was talking about the headlights themselves, I didn't read the post correctly. Yeah there was a post on getting the clear look, I'll search for it and post the result.

Here are a couple of relevant posts:

You can search "roveractive" on eBay, but be prepared to have Vaseline handy.

"clear color" - anyone else find that humorous? "My highschool colors were transparent"

you can probably order clear corner lenses, then if you want you can change the amber bulb to plain white or that blue-ish color like the xenons

The E90 doesn't have separate corner lenses. The headlights are one solid piece and the amber corner is part of it. The OP either needs to order entire new headlights, bake them apart to remove the amber, or use the cheesy vinyl overlays. None of them are really good solutions though.

Ordering the euro headlights is the best solution albeit the priciest too.
