Anyone try to illuminate the Shadowline grill?

I elected to have the Shadowline Trim Package, and would like to have the illuminated grill. Has anyone attempted to do this?

I went ahead and selected the illuminated grille on my build. Not sure how it’s going to look but figured it would be easier to go from illuminated to gloss black vs the other way.

Once received I’m thinking of trying to fully mod the grille to get it to glossy black. We’ll see how that works!

Easier to go from illuminated -> black than the other way, as you will already have the wiring in the car.

I managed to put the black frame from an OEM black grille on the silver slats of my illuminated grille (the lights are in the slats, not the frame). It looked okay but I wanted all black so ended up just swapping the whole thing and not using the illuminated feature. I still have the wiring in the car so if BMW ever release a black illuminated grille, I'm good to go.
