Yes, except for the RHD part as that's only on RHD equipped cars UK, Australia, Hong Kong, etcetera. My X5 is LHD euro spec.

I kinda like the amber. #ambergang 4 lyfe pootaz.
Nicer cutoff would be a plus, but not at that pricetag. Would be cheaper to retrofit some nicer projectors.
Then remove the amber reflector while in there.

I don't mind the ambers either but just not on an Imola body.

I wouldn't pay $2k for either for them, the lowest price I found was on umnitza:

https://www.umnitza.com/headlights-p...ight-pair.html

I contacted them and they confirmed it was with dynamic option and LHD.

I bought mine on ebay for $500 shipped (bought left and right separately) but had some broken tabs and the adjuster inside was broken inside which I fixed. The tabs BMW sells repair kits so that was taken care of.

Thanks!

And they're done! Gotta go pick them up now.

So far out looks good.







And yes the left side has broken tabs but the BMW repair kit will take care that.
