How about these headlights? What do you think?

I know headlights have been discussed over and over again, but I just saw these on Ebay and they look pretty good. They come in black and chrome and I just wanted to know what you all think of them. I like both, but I don't want to lose the BMW "blacked out" look with the chrome ones. These are a little different from the ones discussed earlier in that these have the orange lenses for the signals, which I actually like. So, do these look cheap, or too ricey? Be honest. Thanks.
Here's the Chrome ones:


Here's the Blacked-Out ones:

Yea I thought the same thing about the light holes. However, another auction had the exact lights, save the amber lenses, and were pictured directly from the front, and the light holes looked larger (better).

Thanks for the comments; I like the blunt responses . I guess I'll pass on these. By the way, do any of you know if standard halogen bulbs, connector, etc. will fit in a xenon housing with the projector lense. I was just wondering if I could buy the xenon lights from Ebay and simply fit my standard halogens into them. Any thoughts?

Let me get this right - you want to buy Xenon headlights and put halogen bulbs in them? Why not buy Xenon headlights and use Xenon bulbs as they were designed for?

You're probably better off buying the cheap Asian made angel eye knockoffs. We need someone to take one for the team and give us a reportback on these anyways...

Okay, so if I find the Xenon headlight assembly on ebay, all I would need to make it work would be the ballasts and bulbs right, and the thing to get rid of the bulb out error? I'm not big on wiring so that's why I wasn't very keen on doing the conversion.
