It's that thing just above your eye . Sounds like radical surgery to replace one!

I'd like to have the white Euro reflectors but I think it is one big unit = lots of money.

Open just like a durian.
Take the entire headlight assy and heated it in an oven, then the silicon should be soft enough to be open.

Hello dear MRM83

X1's eyelid. Look what I've found for you. This german company has various eyelid colors. See

You can easily cover it up with stickers of your colour choice at any sticker shop. Alternatively you can spray body colour on the stickers. But why? I thought it look nice.
