    Say no to in.pro

    Some Bosch 'smilies' would be far superior quality wise.

    what is in.pro?

    I'd really appreciate everyone's help and advice since I JUST bought my 540 and I need to replace some headlight lenses... if it's almost as cheap to replace the whole assembly, that's fine... I just want it too look nice. Not ghetto.

    not sure how well the clear lenses would work, most likely they would throw a nasty blinding to incoming drivers beam without all of the little bumps and ridges to focus and direct the light, that stuff aint there for looks

    It's not going to be worth the time and money to replace your lenses...it's likely you'll have some type of problem out of them after you've went through the pain of installing them.

    I picked up a set of Bosch euro spec ellipsoids 'smilies' (for the smile like cut out that's under the ellipsoid itself) for $125...it's likely you'll pay closer to $150+ for a set..but it's well worth it, much brighter...look better when they're off, and they're very high quality...just find you a nice set on ebay or ebay.de

    If you're really on a budget, just pick up another nice set of US ellipsoids...most will have some pitting. In that case simply check out http://www.deltakits.com/dki-catalog/co1.html
