Several people have posted sources of replacement lenses over the years......I don't have a link handy but will try to find one. Even with your obvious mechanical skills, the job is not an easy one apparently.
E61 525d LCI headlights
Hello!
I recently bought a BMW e61 LCI and noticed my headlights had some diy led strips mounted, and the old eyebrows were cut out. This looked horrible and i just painted over it.

But i want to buy new headlights for it, but also be afford a dinner or two🤣
It has adaptive headlights,

What choice do i have? Please leave link if you know where to buy something.
Can i buy the LCI headlight glass anywhere?
Can i use pre LCI headlight glass and swap over the internals?
Can i buy normal Xenon/halogen headlights and swap over the adaptive part without opening the headlight glass?
Is normal Xenon headlight just plug and play?
Ideally i want new adaptive headlights but they are just too expensive in Norway. (700-1000$ a piece).
Ps. I am a Car mechanic and i am comfortable splitting these headlights, just cant find the LCI headlight glasses and i will not splitt the glass on new headlights just to swap internals, cause i will never save the glass while taking it off, got to open the back up or have new glasses laying around.
