X3 Headlight orange reflector

I know the old X3 doesn't have the orange reflectors in the corner of the headlights, but the newer ones do. Also the X5 doesn't have it either.

Any of you know if the 2014 model will have this removed or any way to remove this? Really don't like the orange reflector look...

Are the actual reflectors really orange? On my 2014 model here in Europe the reflectors for the direction indicators are silver, and it is the bulbs that are orange. If you don't like the 'fried egg' look, you can easily replace them with bulbs from Philips, Osram etc. that look silver when off and yet shine orange when operated.

Tbh, it sucks! Other models have it on the fenders or at the bumper.

Our X3 is the only one inside the headlight >_<!

at worst just tint them as I did, I used window tints but you could also use lamin-x.
