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

Cool, thanks! I thot the EVO-XRs would bolt right up, but wanted to make sure.

Haven't decided yet if i want to try and open my headlights and reseal them, or buy some pre-permaseal housings and swap everything over.

hit a big stick while offroading the other week and it tore into the boot on my new driver side cv joint.

nice that it has a lifetime warranty on it.

replaced it and the passenger side cv joint yesterday, scrubbed the inside of both front wheels to get the grease off, and changed the oil.

feels good.

Good luck with finding pre-permaseal housings in good shape, the problem I find is they are all beat to hell, and at the very least the lenses need wetsanding and protection to be clear again.

Apparently new lenses are available from Europe now, you could get a set of these, and just cut your old lenses off/out, and make sure the channel is clean. Lay down some fresh butyl after all is cleaned out and seal up with new lenses:

NICE! Definitely looks like the better option. Would be nice to use my housing. Wonder if anybody has any experience with these. Fitment? Quality?

None that I've seen yet, they just started coming through the market a few months ago.

Put in a new auxilliary fan when the old one decided to crap out 150 miles into a 300 mile trip. Ugh.
