Jlevi SW | Painted E90 Amber Headlight Cover- New Product Development

SV Concepts III · 05-27-2008, 03:48 PM

Not many of you had the chance to check these out at Bimmerfest but we have been working with Bimmian on a complete solution for E90/E91 owners who wish to get rid of the amber look on the headlight.

These are prepainted plastic covers that will cover the entire amber part and include 3M double sided tape for easy installation. They will be offered in all colors and with guaranteed OEM paint match.

We are currently developing this product with Bimmian and should have them available in July! In the meantime, here is a first hand picture of a Jet Black version.

It's going to be outside. You would just tape it on.

rje · 05-27-2008, 04:43 PM

Is there a color that matches the european look/version?

onehappydad · 05-27-2008, 05:04 PM

Great idea.

Curious how well the tape will hold the thin end parts to the light though.

Any idea on price yet?

SV Concepts III · 05-27-2008, 05:36 PM

So far no issues, it uses the same 3M double sided tape that we use for our lip and roof spoilers.

Very interested in these. They look good....

SV Concepts III · 05-27-2008, 07:35 PM

Glad you guys like them so far, we have had a lot of interest.

Kev · 05-27-2008, 07:43 PM

Smart design

Inspired · 05-27-2008, 09:43 PM

I bet you this is going to cost $200 since the vinyl one already cost $60

ianbiz · 05-27-2008, 09:43 PM

looks legit. what is the ball park price going to be?

SV Concepts III · 05-27-2008, 09:55 PM

Pricing has not been determined just yet.

Fzara2000 · 05-27-2008, 09:57 PM

great idea, but does this mean you cant see the turn signal (potentially causing trouble with cops)?

SV Concepts III · 05-27-2008, 10:01 PM

Nope, this only covers the reflector part. The turn signal is located in that clear portion.

rocketman · 05-27-2008, 10:02 PM

I missed it if you said anything about other colors ... any TS available? Would be all over this.

jbimmer3 · 05-28-2008, 12:36 AM

great product. Hurry up the eta.

What about making the same thing but out of a clear reflector???????

SV Concepts III · 05-28-2008, 12:51 AM

These will be available in all colors.

A clear version is a great idea although it may be tough to make it block out the amber.

use a clear reflector painted white on the backside.

myfirst3 · 05-28-2008, 01:33 AM

i think this is a great idea. everytime i saw eyelids, i would wonder when someone would make something similar but would also cover the amber on the bottom portion of the head lights. plus with it already molded and using 3m tape, you wouldnt have to worry about air bubbles and messing up during installation like you would with the vinyl covers.
