Almost completed. From the oustide it will look almost LCI (the brighness of the inside angle eye will always be way brighter than the dim oustide one though!), but some materials changes to the plastics & control knobs on the inside if you wanna really have the LCI look.

Not worth it IMHO, but just saying.

We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard..

You guys are making me self-conscious about my side indicators being pre-LCI
At the least I do have the interesting slot on the headlight
