    though the smoked came out really good i think i might have to follow the DIY for actually smoking them.
    edit: the only downside of the elefant film is that depending on your head lights you have to make slits for the nipples.
    i found it really easy to just press the film against your headlight before removing them from the paper to make a template on where to cut.

    looks clean can't wait for mine to come in now

    only doing the high beams in yellow is worse.
    i actually like em, its on its way for shipment as we speak but thats your preference, i actually prefer mine looking rather unique, too bothered to really spend a crap load on actual yellow lenses

    i just received my set from elefant and they came out really good.
    i went with the smoked lows and yellow highs, for the 14 bucks i am really impressed. the high beams work way better now.

    Been reading that you can spray these or laminex the lens but what about replacing the whole lens with a yellow lens? Is it just too difficult or is the part just too hard to find? Too expensive?

    I have a 1989 325is

    EDIT: Will something like this work best? http://elefantsupply.com/?page_id=59...roduct=5753706

    Added bonus is during snow storms the yellow doesn't dazzle your eyes on the falling snow like white will do.
