-Spyder E53 headlights (they come with CCFL rings in them from the factory) - they look like facelifted Euro xenons
-Retrofitted with EvoXR bi-xenon projectors, splitters on the stock halogen high beam so I now have "quad high beams"
-Stealth turn signal bulbs
-Sourced proper sized and shaped SMD LED rings from a seller in China, very affordable considering a popular vendor sells for $200 for a set
-XPel Ultimate on the new lenses
-Swapped self leveling motors, ballast tray, bulb gaskets, and back covers as well as stock vents from my OE Hella housings onto the new Spyder housings

Depo modded with E46 shroud ,finally finished!
DONE!Fitted the E46 shroud over the horrid Depo spider shroud and replaced the "spot bulbs" angel eyes with CCFL.
Just some pics to complement ones already posted previously
