Looking for new headlights

I did a search on Ebay and found this set of headlights. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...MEWA:IT&ih=018

do you guys think that I can fit them on my X5 (Silver 2001 3.0) without the need to modify anything? Is it really a plug and play application as the seller says?
One last question. Any other place where I can find nice headlights (other than Ebay)?
Thanks for your time

projectors53 are nice but $650 shipped is a little bit over my budget right now.

I agree - don't buy those off ebay.. what do you have now? halogen? or Xenons? I'd save until you can buy a set. Also, keep an eye on ebay - some of the projectors turn up for approx $300 (halogen) and $450 (xenon). Same makers as Bimmer360s... just not enhanced by JleviSW. Do a search on forum for "projector53 ebay" maybe you'll find them.. I posted them a while back too when i found them.

I assume what you're trying to do is get halo headlights?

I have halogen. It's not about money, it's just that I don't want to spend that much on headlights. Anyway, I will stay away from those on Ebay, for now

if you have halogens, you can get the projectors53 for not more than $430 shipped.
