anyone replace front amber reflectors e92?

matt_435xi · 02-12-2007, 09:25 AM

i ordered a set from bimmian.com, but they will not arrive until March. after reading the fine detail on there site it appears the bimmian solution is a painted cover that sticks (strong adhesive tape) on top of the reflector?

i have heard its nearly impossible to pop these reflectors out, as compared to e46 reflectors.

any comments/suggestions?

I believe the reflectors fit in a recess. So you remove the old ones and attach the new ones in the recess. Do a search for more info.
