'13 LCI grills with night vision, anyone else?

Night Vision was not on my "must haves" list at all of options, but I didn't think about how it would affect some basic modifications. Turns out while you can easily drop in the LCI "double slat" grills on a '13 M5, the night vision design has changed and that's not so easy.

So, darn. I found a thread about it, some people just remove the NV and code it out.. Not really something I want to do for a piece of technology that was like $3500 new

I was thinking it has to be simply cutting holes in plastic (the new grills), and there is reference to someone getting it to work, but their site is dead. Thread is here. http://f10.m5post.com/forums/showthr...=949326&page=2

Just curious if anyone else has put the new grills on a '13 car with night vision.

I'm stuck just like you... really want the LCI badged front grill in black.
I'm going to take off the chrome, sand it and paint it. But still want to see if anyone knows how I can do the m5 badge?

After more searches, I think I found more details from that dude.

Not sure if it's clear enough yet, but at least it seems like it could work.
