upgrading from halogens to Hids

[mtX5]

Do you have any pictures rich?

I have looked at most of the aftermarket Xenon upgrades and they all look cheap and riced out, IMO. If you really look at then light and housing back to back with a stock BMW light, there is no comparison.

Yeah..I disagree also! Dave's solution at Custom Angel eyes actually takes the BMW OEM Housings and then he fills in all the goods....with his equipment! ..Like I said ....all the members at the tristate meet were all thumbs up when they got too see it in person......I hear what fseth means about many of the aftermarket crap on ebay.......it does look 110% ricey! I will get some pics up! I have some daytime pics at this thread!! Hard too see the lights though!! Sorry gang! the best I could do for now!! I'll have new pics up soon when I insatll my 215's and the Vredestein rubber in two weeks!!

I'll have to disagree as well. I haven't gotten the Umnitza kit yet..still waiting.. but if you check out the pictures on the link i previously posted in this thread you can see it definately gives the car a more aggressive look, not a ricey look.

Franc, that is not ricey - that infact is the same housing that Umnitza uses for their p53's.....looks good and aggresive....I don't know if the electronics are all the same but the cosmetic make up is all the same......

This would be the style and crap that we are talking about!!

franc, those look pretty good. That photo cuts off some of the side marker/turnsignal area. Can you post a photo that includes that whole area?

RR is right, that was more of what I was referring too. I guess there are some that look OK, but there are more that look like junk, IMO.
