http://www.**********s.com sells the vinyl overlays.

http://www.jlevisw.com sells the painted covers.

I went with the painted covers and they fit and look good.

They did not work out for me. I got a set of "CF" ambergones, and they started to bubble 3 weeks after the install. Going to remove them soon and try plastic overlays.

You sure about that?

And I wouldn't open the headlight.. unless you want to void one of your precious warranties.

I have an alpine white 2008 335i sedan.

I followed the link to look at the adaptive HL conversion kit for clear turn signals which cost about $2k. they look good!

http://www.bavauto.com/shop.asp

E90 4PCLR ADPT

Question: These look the same as the 09 headlamps, are they the same? I heard 2009 headlamps don't work on 2008 due to some electrical issues.

Also, if I buy these, will this void my warranty?

need clear headlamps

thanks in advance!

It means the headlights are ECE (European Community) specification imported from Germany and the style of the headlights are pre-facelift (LCI).
