FS: Blacked out Custom E9X M3 Headlights 3/4 DTM Carbon Fiber Bay Area
Apparently I enjoy doing these so much that I keep undertaking new builds.
This set is configured as follows: 3/4 DTM rings Shrouds in Pearl Black Trim around shrouds in satin black Blacked out corner housing Carbon fiber eyelid New exterior Lenses Rings wired to OE connections, making these plug and play. Butyl glue refresh for tight seal between lenses and housings Pics do not do this black pearl justice. In the light they really shine. This set is 90% complete, but as always Bimmerjakes was backordered on the lenses. I am expecting delivery early this week. Pic1 Quick shot of the rings and shrouds. Pic2 The Bavgruppe eyelids are notoriously thin, and often times does not diffuse the light coming from xenon bulb, resulting in visible pinhole effect. I have remedied this by wrapping the backside with an Oracal black vinyl. *Top eyelid wrapped, bottom not wrapped Last edited by Spun Crankhub; 08-11-2019 at 07:17 PM.. |

I wish I would have known about the eyelids from Bavgruppe being so thin and letting light through; I would have done the same. Also, I swear these lights make our cars look 10 years younger.
GLWS! |

These lights are a must on E9X. Seems like the oe headlight department went about half effort when designing them for the platform. Thanks! |

Thanks friend, I might start to get a little crazier with the builds ie Carbon fiber shroud trim, demon eyes, etched lenses, etc.

Looking good, and GLWS!
Wondering, do you build lights for others? I'd love to swap in clear ZKW projector lenses and reseal my lights (condensation when I wash the car), but it's not an undertaking I am up for. |

I say you should have at it. If all you're going to do is the lenses you only need your new lens and some butyl glue. the lens is very easy to get out and in. Its accessed just by prying back some tabs.

Going to do a for sale thread for these in the exterior FS section. I like to do a thread in the CA regional section in hopes of getting the attention of Bay Area people potentially interested.
