New MTEC H8 Angel Eye Bulbs - Looks Cool!

A little hard to tell in the picture, but bright white. Nearly as bright and white as my '11 535 halo lights, well at least closer but absolutely white and brighter than stock. I really love them.

Going to code out the amber running lights when I get time to connect with my guy.

Ordered OE projector fogs, Morimoto HIDs, and a PS door handle carrier...

Ordered these today for my black Spyder housings, 145mm semi-circle and 125mm full circle rings for the housings, should work out nicely I hope, and with China's 11/11 sale and a coupon for the supplier, they are a stupid steal at $45 delivered, including relay wiring harness (I love AliExpress):

RB, let me know how you get along with those... you wouldn't happen to know if they have the sizes I need for my permaseals would you? I'd like to get in on that discount as well if possible.

Referencing X5SND's thread: http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...s-you-say.html

He used 120/140mm full rings, I think mostly because those were what was offered from TRS/Morimoto. Post #51 he mentions that the 120mm is a tad small and probably a 125mm would work perfect. Honestly considering its probably 1 to 2mm difference on either side I would probably just try the same combo (125/145), or from hid.lighting order the 127.5mm and 146mm semi-circled rings, they should work. Again, it's not my housings but the tolerances are definitely close enough.

Looking forward to pics on the progress, J.

Question, I think I'm gonna open my OEM prefacelifts and put on AEs and other projectors, just for the fun and practice. I'll probably end up selling them eventually.

From what I gathered, on OE prefacelift lights, I need a 127mm semi-circle for the low beams. Do you know what the exact size is for the highs? Also, are there any projectors that swap directly into the OE housing?

They make plenty of kits for the pre-facelifts. They should tell you exact size needed.

RB do you have a link to the ali express seller you ordered from? Would like to get in on that deal you got. ~$50 for 2 sets of rings is ludicrous.

Matt, EvoXR would be a direct bolt-in on the OEM pre-facelift and facelift housings, just like your Spyders.

The Chinese companies make kits already for OEM E53 lights, but in case you were wondering the size is 158mm for high beam.

Factory on AliExpress I ordered from is Newsun, still on sale (just leave them notes at checkout for the sizes you need):
