stackz is on a distinguished road
burned my headlights cleaning them, now what?

once a year I end up stupidly reminding myself not to get "intoxicated" and work on my cars lol.

my headlights on my 01 x5 had a haze on them so I decided yesterday after happy hour I'd do something about it. long story short, too much pressure and too little compound and I burned the passenger light.

at this point I'm wondering what my options are. I mean yeah, I could buy another used light that's still hazed off ebay for $200 or so, I could go super high dollar aftermarket or high dollar OEM replacement ($350/pair from what I've seen).

Or I could try something like these:
2001 2003 BMW x5 E 53 E53 Halo Rim LED Running Light Projector Black Headlight | eBay

I've searched on here under various terms and dont see much about these. All I care about is they dont look super stupid and have clear lenses and work properly at night. The thing that gets me is the wiring and I dont know if anything else is required.

I should probably say I dont have factory xenon lights. just regular halogens.

anyone know anyone who's tackled these things and whether they'll give me a dash light for headlights or not?

I have to admit, they do look good on the car in the ad.
