Ok - got the lights but need to send them back.

They look really great but...there is a small fingerprint on the silver side marker (inside the casing) Small tab to hold the rubber trim is broken.
Also drivers side angel eyes both covered in white glue, not bad but you definitely can see it - not acceptable for me
Just emailed the seller back about that.

In general the build quality is really good and they look like face lifted OEM light but looks like the QC in not really good
Hopefully the next set will be better.

Also looks like they will take the leveling motor but we will need to wait again to find out that.

Thanks Bernie!

And mine also had a small fingerprint in it but you learn to forget it. Didn't have any glue though..

Yes,
I think I can live with the small fingerprint on the passenger side but glue...:(
I might be able to "bake" the light and clean the glue or pay for return shipping and get a new one. What would you do?

WARNING Thread HIJACK..
were the AE's needed to be wired or plug n play? DRL issue or what ever, or can i just hook up the AE's to my parking lights via adapter (E39 sytle)? more info if possible please.

Why would you pay return shipping. If the sellers product is messed up you should be able to get a free exchange. That's what I would work for. If that doesn't work then I guess pay shipping as long as he guarantees the next product will be fine.

I hope they will pay return shipping...Their return policy -" buyer pays return shipping" but I hope its only in case for a refund but I just want them to replace for a better quality pair:stickpoke
I will let you know the outcome as soon as the seller responds.

Also, looks like I wont be able to "bake" the drivers light to clean the glue due to AE's ballasts inside:(

I returned the lights back & they sending another pair. Hopefully they will be better quality.

I have one question - it looks like these lights have H7 bulb- can I use my stock bulbs with them? My bulbs are D2S to I could use the adaptor that sells on eBay but that adaptor is only for OEM headlights - I dont think it will work with these eBay lights.

Can anyone tell me how can I keep my original ballasts,wires & D2S bulbs to use with these lights?:stickpoke

If you can use your stock ballasts and bulbs that would be keeyy

I sure hope you can use your stock equipment with these otherwise there's no point. Here's hoping something is out there to make this work.

Can anyone help Philly X5??

I think there are adapters available as I found in this random thread via google images.

Otherwise I believe I have the set of aftermarket h7 xenons with ballasts left over from my old E36 aftermarket headlights, 6000k. Don't think that you could wire them up to work without error messages as you had OEM xenon, but I had them wired up in the E36 with no error messages and no problems as I had plain old halogens in there before.

Philly X5, what are the production dates on the back of your OEM lights? If they are from before 10/02 they can be opened and modified. Mine came out great, and the lenses looked brand new after refinishing via sanding down then spraying with automotive clear coat at a body shop. Didn't take pics of lenses after re-cleared before being smoked, but here's some quick pics of what I did.
