Question about head light replacement

Hi all. I found a pair of replacement head light for X5 in eBay and I am thinking of replacing my old head light. Just want to ask if it is plug and play which means no need to change or modify any thing. My X5 does not have xenon lights equipped. According to what the seller said, it uses H1 bulb for high and low beam. Please see below link for the head light in eBay.

Does anyone have the experience? Please give me some idea. Appreciated!

i don't think any of us here has tried aftermarket headlights...there has been a lot of discussion about it though. it seems like it should be plug and play because they're not xenons.

i think you'd be happier to retrofit xenon headlights for a "little" more money...

those headlights are ugly. There are better aftermarket ones on ebay.

I might pick one up myself. The drawback is that they are not xenon, but lookwise they are better looking than stock xenon headlights.

Thanks for your opinion. Can you recommend some better aftermarket ones on eBay? Thanks!
