Someone should find a way to make the E36 lights work really well and start making kits... *think* cheaper than the current jewels.  Also, we'd need something similar for the corners, because those on the 850 look downright ugly with the E36 lenses.

The sides of the E36 lights are convexed and the corners will require some grinding. The trick will be to separate the corner light lenses from the backing and spray the reflectors and overlaping edges (back side) black. You don't really need reflectors on corner lights and the jewel corners look a little Altezza-ish.
