Maybe some pictures of your setup ??

I just saw that per eBay seller these wont work for cars with Hids/Xenon lights and its not possible to use OEM bulbs & ballasts...
It is a mistake?

Because they are not plug&play, if you read what I wrote before I said I "adapted" OEM xenon, just because it isn't a plug&play setup doesn't mean it can't be done. If you are a little bit handy you'll manage to adapt them, if not take them to an installer or someone who has some knowledge in the matter. Here's a thread I did when I purchased them, you can see the xenon in one of the pics. This thread was because mi X is canadian spec and I didn't have a way to power the AE's but solved that.

Nice. I love these projector design more than the DEPO one. Looks more OEMish.

Any idea if their light pattern can be switch from LHD pattern to RHD like the DEPO one ???

Not that I know of, in fact I'll have to see if they have a pattern at all...

Hey Dolphin, did you use wire instructions from mtX5 in the link you provided or do you have any other that might help me connect the AE's? Please let me know. Thanks.
