2001 X5 Headlight replacement

Hello,
I have a 2001 X5 4.4. And i was planning on changing my headlights to something OEM with angel eyes. What is the good place you guys would recommend and what kind should i get to incorporate with the stock HID lighting i already have? Suggestions are really appreciated. Been wanting to change these for a while now but i just do not know what is the good brand and should get. Thanks again!

Andre

coming from someone with an 01 that has tried those ebay headlights and the depo ones. Trust me save up and get the depo headlights from EuropeanAutoSource.com . I had the ebay ones for half a year and they indeed worked fine but they were no where as near as bright as they seemed on ebay. The depo headlights include that auto leveling and all the toys included. It cost me around $800 but trust me once you experience the differnece you won't regret it. I'll post some pictures when I get on my pc

They look great. Did u have to do anything 'extra' to make the AEs work? tap into something? or completely plug & play?
