Can't replace headlights!?

[Ricky Bobby]

^Yes but they are aftermarket and not D2S bulbs they are Chinese made D2C bulbs - there is a HUGE difference in light output between Genuine and aftermarket xenon bulbs.

Also according to his description he includes 8000K bulbs, combining that makes them double crap - I would NOT use the bulbs in his kit, you may as well plug in halogens.

But what kind of bulbs? Probably cheap ones.

[Ricky Bobby]

extra cheap cheena 8000K blue ones lol

[Joshdub]

Haha wow. Yeah you may as well.

I also second Depo with genuine or better bulbs if you're looking for plug and play. No sense in spending all that money and still having crap for vision.

We don't use the word "can't" around here, lol.

Odds are if you want to do something and are struggling a bit with it, someone here has already found a way to do it.

Seriously, there's not a single problem that I've encountered with my E53 that SOMEONE here hasn't cooked up a solution/fix/improvement/DIY.

I ordered headlights with angel eye halo, then I find out that it will. It go because I have the factory HID's. So, now I have to return the headlights, but I don't want to! Now, I've tried with no luck to find the proper aftermarket headlights that can be used, but nothing! Please, can anyone point me in the right direction. Is it possible to configure the new lights? Thank you.

The original headlights are way better quality then your aftermarket ones. To get the halo ones you are going to have to accept and inferior quality set or have to upgrade the guts and price to get what you want.
