I would appreciate if one of the devs commented on this.

As do I, thought with as long as it has been... I don't think we'll get so lucky.

About the same chance of that happening as having a Falmer become the next High King of Skyrim.

Personally I like that the Beast races didn't get the visual upgrade the man and mer races received..a brown dirty furred (All the man and mer races become tanned excluding the Dunmer if I recall so perhaps a tanned Khajit would have brown fur..and a argonian would have dirt brown scales) Khajit with glowing yellow eyes and a red line on his mouth?

Doesn't sound that appealing..the snow white, red tinged white eye'd with black cat eye slit Khajits are better in my opinion and even the grey argonians have their own charm.

Why are you going to abandon a character just because of something that actually isn't a bug. I believe beth intended for the beast race vamps to keep their old vanilla vamp eyes. It's no bug. And im actually glad they did it that way. The eyes to the beast races are different anyways from the human and elf races, so i can see why their vampire eyes won't look the same (after all there vamp eyes didn't look the same as the human and elf vamp eyes in vanilla so why should it look the same in dawnguard?).

Besides, it's nice to have a vampire that still looks vanilla like, in the skyrim world of dawnguard style vampires.

I have a Khajiit vampire who still looks physically the same as she did in vanilla skyrim, but i don't care, im not going to abandon her just because she doesn't have the same glowing eyes that other vamps do. What's cool about it though is that it makes her unique, after all, even in vanilla skyrim vamp eyes were different from each other depending on race, so at least some of that has passed over into dawnguard.

If the beast races eyes were supposed to be different, why not give them unique eyes for the dawnguard expansion? I think the "they're supposed to be different because beasts are beasts" argument is crap because if that was the case bethesda would have redone them with new eyes seperate from the human and elf ones instead of just leaving them the way they were before. This was just laziness or an oversight they refused to fix. Plain and simple.

To me it's not the look exactly that gets me upset, it's the fact that once again beast race characters were totally overlooked. I mean come of, if they're not going to re-texture anything at least make the existing eyes glow so they somewhat fit with the lore of what's going on.

Sad as it is, I haven't played Skyrim in months.

If they don't address some of the problems I don't know what's going to happen, I can acknowledge that this is a fairly insignificant issue to most people when compared to the problems they have already on their plate. I just hope they don't abandon this game so soon.

I can't believe that this was overlooked, its so simple...
Seeing this fix on PC makes me not want to play my Xbox even more.

I heard playing skyrim on the PC does that to you.

I hear that a lot too, though when i play on PC I only use mods that fix things that should have been in the game in the first place. Like the unofficial patches and things like these eyes. I love the vanilla game and I wish we didn't have to rely on the modding community to restore the game to the state it should have been in the first place.

So, is there any hope of thing being fixed officially?

why is this in the 360 hardware support, and not the general dawnguard forum? it's not a hardware issue.
also, it might have been intended. Beast races have different biology to men and mer
(if it was intended, then the devs need a good kicking. i was going to make a khajiit Volkihar, but now i think that'll be my Dark Elf)
