Help me decide on new headlights....

I currently have standard halogen headlights and I want the angel eyes look.

I want to change out my headlights for one of the depo lights. I noticed that they have two versions, a halo version and a xenon version. Some time back I purchased the xenon ballast to convert my halo lights to xenon but didn't go through with it, so I can go either way.

See links:
240 LED HALO headlights:

00-03 BMW E53 X5 UHP 240-LED ANGEL EYES HALO HEADLIGHTS - eBay (item 120697243360 end time Apr-11-11 19:05:14 PDT)

Xenon version:

2000-2003 BMW E53 X5 UHP LED ANGEL XENON HEADLIGHT CCFL - eBay (item 120707862536 end time May-04-11 21:07:31 PDT)


Help me decide on halo or xenon.

Thank you for your input.

Ambro

Thanks for your reply Nik, any particular reason why you say Xenon?

Ambrosius I think you're confused, those ebay ads are for the same type of lights, the LED they are talking about are the halo lights. If you have factory xenon lights you simply transfer them over to the new lights, if not you're going to have to convert your lights to a xenon/HID setup.

You are right. I guess I will be doing the xenon conversion after all.

Jordo,

Thank you for posting those pictures. They looks really nice. I am assuming they are pretty much plug and play?
