Abused subject - Are these ebay headlights any good, and these angel eyes?

m5james · #1 07-22-2009, 01:26 AM

So I was going to buy a set of angel eyes for my X tonight, but I still don't like that I don't have projector headlights. I decided to look around on ebay and these are the closest to stock looking lights w/ all the goofy extra LED bar above the headlight or small dinky LED angel eyes (that are know are super dim because my buddy has them on his E38). This set looks nice and clean, I like the clear corners because they look like the facelifted E53 corners. I doubt the angel eyes are going to be as bright as i'd like, but that's where I was wanting to get some opinions from someone who may already have them.

How are good are the angel eyes?

How does the lowbeam projector look at night...all dispursed or nice and focused like they should be w/ the nice little upwards curve to the right.

Is the highbeam completely useless, or is it still decent like the stock headlights. My buddies ebay hibeams on his e38 suck, but who really cares since i'm getting HID's for the lowbeams anyways...hence the other reason why I need a projector headlight vs my boring halogens.

I know this is an abused subject, but I don't recall seeing anyone w/ these headlights before. Thanks.

Sorry guys...here they are. I do like the ones Essam sent because they have angel eyes and HID's installed. How bright are the angel eyes, CCFL or LED? Are Raptor HID's any good? Do you have these headlights Essam?

No I dont have them, I have OEM
search for simoncpw, he has them with the yellow angel eyes (like OEM)... You have the option to add CCFL instead when you order.

The ones in your link looks nice too.. I think they are the same

the ones in your link are the the ones i got from custom angel eyes. EXACT same housing. i'm just trying to figure out if the CCFLs are the same. if they are, then i got ripped off. i paid $1000 for my set, and my hids dont work

Can someone explain the difference between the two? The ebay one, and the E53 DEPO Projector53? Because they are a $100 difference....

The HID's that came w/ the headlight don't work, or your old factory HID's wouldn't go into the new headlight housing?
