Bastard I kid, I kid. I'm surprised this thread got this much exposure to be honest. The mods really need to get Automerge on these forums....wow

Since you asked how the CCFL angel eyes in the ebay ones compare to factory ones, i'll wait till you get yours so I can get your opinion. I've seen stock angel eyes on e39's and a few other cars, but I really want them to be brighter and not so yellow as i've seen in some stock setups.

Just in case and to save you some hedaches, did you noticed that the corners look smoke? The headlight itself is the same one I have but the corner looks smoke to me, maybe it's the photo but just in case, unless that's how you want them, ask the seller if the corners are smoke or not

I noticed that but I think this is just the light...He has other BMW headlights where he indicates that they are "smoked" but not with these X5 lights so I think the corners should be clear but just in case I emailed him.
