I've got them, I just installed them last week. I haven't hooked up the angel eyes yet, since my factory lights did not have ballasts or any harnessing.

Overall, I think the look is very close to OEM. The inner headlight is larger than the outer, like OEM. The angel eye rings are in correct proportion. The lights came with bulbs, including amber corner bulbs. I'll be changing those out.

One thing to note, the projectors are halogen projectors. If you existing lights are halogen, then these will be plug and play. If your existing lights are Xenon/HID then you'll need to do some work on these lights. You'd have to remove the halogen projector and install a xenon projector in it's place. They are not compatible from what I've read.

The halogen high beams on these lights are a little difficult to get aimed. The aiming adjusters seem to be the same quality plastic that my OEM lights had. But these are giving me a hard time adjusting vertically and horizontally.

my biggest PET PEEVE about aftermarket angel eyes is the look. Maybe it's just me as there is such a HUGE market for those that like the xeon look, etc. Or the way the rings look. I'm not into this ~OEM ~ mentality, but I do like how the OEM rings look amberish as opposed to Xenonish. enough of the 'ishs for today

Here's mine!

I like them very much... give the X a "facelifted" look without the hassles of changing all the sheet metal... Still no illuminated rings though
