Sorry there’s been no real updates on this, work, life etc even using COTA going private as an excuse to slow me down.
But here’s a little sneak of its sitting right now.

The legend himself jumped on my post!!!!

I will do everything in my power to get you some photos.

The headlights were damaged, so the lenses were easily removed without fear of breaking them.
I removed all of the internals and painted them black, other than the sensitive “silver” portion the helps with lighting.
I then removed everything other than the xenon system and outer turn signal-so out with the interior running lights and sadly BMW HALOs.
Removed the now redundant harness portions in the headlights, tested functions and re-butyl the new Amazon lenses.
Applied Xpel 30% PPF and coded out most functions for the lights via protool.
