thank you
you should get the tails they are alot nicer than stocks , i had to get capasitors for them cause they flicker.
& you should get the headlights too , they are bright in day time , the angel eyes has 60 LED's in each ring.

Yes, I have the same lights. A simple adjustment and anas can lower the driver side low beam, and raise the passenger side low beam and it will be perfect. Most gas stations who also do inspection can help with the ideal level with one of those measurement walls.

I like the idea of them angel eyes being LED, but I'd really wanna see them in person so I can compare them to what I've seen compared to CCFL Pictures are nice, but variations between camera can make things look better or worse than they really are in person.

I have to agree w/ DLK about the beam pattern shining on your Ridgeline. It's definately a v-pattern w/ the left side being more horizontal but still moving upwards.

The LED tail lights are nice also, but I don't like how the hatch lenses have a white horizontal line through them, but then the same matching line isn't on the actual taillights...kinda makes it look like you mismatched different taillights. I'm still hoping the someone starts making a CELIS style taillights like on the E70 X5 to fit the E53's.

yes the pictures doesn't do the headlights justice,especially my camera its old & kinda missed up!, they do look a lot better in person, LED AE's looks alot better than CCFL
& i know what you talking about as far as the taillights i didnt really like that either at first but after i installed them i loved the look

Yeah, camera can enhance or ruin things. I installed a 1 piece headlight kit on my buddies E38 750iL that is all chrome w/ intergrated angel eyes. The pics from my phone made the it look cool and bright, but you can hardly tell they're even on once it's outside in natural light.

Can you see the individual LED's when they're lit, or is that just because of the camera automatically adjusting for the lighting? Hopefully ebay will start having LED angel eyes for the same price range as CCFL's.
