Decided To "Change Things Up A Bit" **WARNING LIGHT PORN**

lifesgud2 · 01-10-2014, 04:03 PM

Hey Guys,

So I wanted to change the color of the headlights on my MCB M5 as I was really not feeling the chrome inside. I went ahead and had the inside painted BLACK Chrome, Etched the M5 logo on projectors, and the projectors painted to match the car. (MCB) I also added LED strip for the "eyebrow area". This is just a teaser shot for now. I hope to post up more pics over the weekend.

Enjoy!!!

Curious to see some photos of the light units in daylight. Also what level of difficulty was involved cracking the lights open?

DrKevM5 · 01-10-2014, 04:23 PM

Ditto

Should have painted the corner portion of the headlights as well.

Haha jk. Very interesting. Any problems re-sealing the lights?

Thats the first time I have ever seen the ///M logo in the HL. very cool.

Nice ! Get some day time pics. We did several etched lenses on BMW's.

It's a really nice and subtle touch to the headlights.

Does the etching impact light output or have any adverse effects?
