It would look good in a contrasting 2 color scheme IMO, like black eyelid on a white or red car. I don't think its worth putting it on if the colors are similar since it blends in like its not really there.

Honestly I think they look awful. Are there any issues / affects using with Xenons?

I like these but wonder if hiding the reflectors violates the Highway Traffic act?

Got a link to where those are on Ebay? I searched but didn't see anything. I think they look nice and agree they help hide the ugly yellow reflector.

Hey so how did he go? This must be the guy you bought it from I'm guessing.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-X3-F25...-/151403302975

But at $60 Canadian for something that is primed, you have to pay a body shop a hundred dollars then to paint it?

It's actually this link:

IMO, these have better rounded edges/beveling, not just flat.
It took a while for delivery and painting them...will be installing them this weekend and will post some pic

that should look sweet. Looking forward to the pics. Take a quick few at least with your phone :-)

The headlight lens has a few complex curves and lines right around where the hood meets the fender. their cover follows those contours perfectly and sits totally flush against the lens?

Would love to see a few close-up pictures to see if there is any Between the lens and the cover, and to get an idea how thick this cover is
