Not aware of any OEM light ever being offered with black inner housing. Perhaps that one was modified or is aftermarket?

Stole this from the other forums lol, but this was my understanding of it.
Pre-facelift, orange indicators, black inners - Halogen Pre-facelift, orange indicators, black inners - Xenon Pre-facelift, orange indicators, silver inners - Halogen Pre-facelift, orange indicators, silver inners - Xenon Post-facelift, white indicators, black inners - Halogen Post-facelift, white indicators, black inners - BiXenon Post-facelift, white indicators, silver inners - Halogen Post-facelift, white indicators, silver inners - BiXenon Black inners for the smaller engined cars, silver for the 3.0/3.2 Edit: Not sure of any differences in wiring though so can't help there - sorry.

I have a 2006 3.0i with OEM Black headlights.
BI-xenon. The lens inside is a dummy with only 1 angel eye. The outer lens (bi-xenon) does not have a halo ring Black comes in OEM 3.0i's 2006. 3.0si's and M's come with silver headlights. (I gave mine a M facelift) |

As abelgonzaleZ4 said above, BMW did throw in black housing Bi-Xenons in the facelift non M Z4. I looked into this before I ordered the Umnitza headlights simply because I too wanted the black housings.
