also, did you have to purchase the bulbs separately?
The only way to fix the problem with the bulbs (they wont come up for several seconds when I start the car) is to use OEM bulbs. For some reason 03 X5 OEM ballasts "don’t like" eBay bulbs... This was also mentioned under "Group Buy thread for DEPO Lights"

I decided not to use these headlights - like the look but the projector is not for HID/Xenon lights and thats why the light output is not so great.
I will try to take additional pictures today.

I purchased DEPO lights with LED halos from group buy, they should be here tomorrow and I will post some pictures again so you guys will have opportunity to compare them to eBay headlights
