Abused subject - Are these ebay headlights any good, and these angel eyes?
So I was going to buy a set of angel eyes for my X tonight, but I still don't like that I don't have projector headlights. I decided to look around on ebay and these are the closest to stock looking lights w/ all the goofy extra LED bar above the headlight or small dinky LED angel eyes (that are know are super dim because my buddy has them on his E38). This set looks nice and clean, I like the clear corners because they look like the facelifted E53 corners. I doubt the angel eyes are going to be as bright as i'd like, but that's where I was wanting to get some opinions from someone who may already have them.
How are good are the angel eyes? How does the lowbeam projector look at night...all dispursed or nice and focused like they should be w/ the nice little upwards curve to the right. Is the highbeam completely useless, or is it still decent like the stock headlights. My buddies ebay hibeams on his e38 suck, but who really cares since i'm getting HID's for the lowbeams anyways...hence the other reason why I need a projector headlight vs my boring halogens. I know this is an abused subject, but I don't recall seeing anyone w/ these headlights before. Thanks.

Sorry guys...here they are. I do like the ones Essam sent because they have angel eyes and HID's installed. How bright are the angel eyes, CCFL or LED? Are Raptor HID's any good? Do you have these headlights Essam?

Hi m5James, I have these and they look really good, angel eyes are CCFL, high beam is very bright and I adapted OEM xenon to them so no error code there and they are brighter than my OEM were by the time I swapped them (meaning maybe OEM were brighter or as bright when new but not now) So go for them, no regrets here!

Can you tell if Angel eyes match OEM xenons or are they close to 6000K output?
