What kind of bulbs do you have in the cleared part? There's a blue tint to them......do they blink white or amber?

BTW, here's mine.....

It should be white coming out of the blue bulb.

sweet man, i have been wanting to do this since i got my car, but i am too nervous. plus, i have data dots on the lights, so i hear it is harder to get them out.

but they look damn good... did you run into any problems?

Looks great! Good job!

I wanna do it soooo bad, but I'm too afraid to screw it up. The whole oven thing scares the hell outta me.

Why does everybody know wanna change the amber. i personally like the amber piece. I would take apart my lights to tint the headlights and install the new angel eyes but that's about it. But that's my opinion. I am not being rude but I just want to know why you cleared them.

because everyone has different tastes
I personally dont like eyelids
and the funny thing is that the general shape of the 5th gen headlights preceeds that of the new BMW 5 series by almost 4 years
I personally love the way the headlights curve up at the ends
it looks almost feline
like a cat about to pounce
