That looks awesome! I have been considering doing something with my headlights for awhile now. The pre lci match the pre lci tails well enough, but once you go with the lci tails the pre lci headlights look too bright. Something like this where its just a blackout seems perfect. OEM plus style.

Btw if you started offering this as a service I would buy. Shipping from UK to Hawaii would be fun, but it is what it is.

Personally, although I prefer the ICON style of the pre-lci lights, I just feel that all the chrome dates the car in comparison to the M5 LCI and other models.

Even the F80 M3/M4 Icons have way less chrome elements in them.

As for doing it as a service, there are a few places in the states that will do this for you. Lightwerks and Bavgruppe are two that spring to mind. Not cheap though.

I was never that happy with the front-end in comparison to the rear. Over the moon now.

If you'd like to know more about the process or fancy having a go yourself. There's a full guide here: BMW M5 F90 Head-light modifying guide





Chrome or not, I like them BOTH
