your thoughts on these headlights
 

decided to look into buying new headlights instead of restoring original ones.

What are your thoughts on these???
2001-2003 BMW X5 (E53) 2X HALO Project Headlights (JDM BLACK) | eBay

please don't...That is ricey-looking things.

Unless you want to put a Honda badge on your beemer, don't buy them - I saw them on an X5 and they look out of place, disproportinate in reference to the rest of the car.

I myself bought a blacked out tail lights set with LEDs and then I took them off the car (you can see them on the avatar, the car in is Nicaragua all dirty but still can see blacked out tails), as they looked too "chinese"... Prior to that, I had a set of blackened OEM tail lights on E34 - that was real Hella, real McCoy!!!
Since then I don't like that LED look on the new Mercedes, BMW, Audi - there are other technologies that provide a more upscale look than sparcely placed LEDs...


My vote - NO!!!

OP if you have to ask other people if you should, your not fully convinced yourself and you probably shouldn't. But if you like them, get them and be happy. Who cares what anybody says about them, its your X. As for the rice comments, those are probably the LEAST rice aftermarket headlights for the X5. There's no gaudy glowing strips or LED dots floating everywhere.

i have depo UHP without led and the bad ass! Alil more pricey but worth the drop. Also do not get led turns they have major defects. I do not know how to post pics so email me and ill send to ya.

:thumbdown

:smackass: for even thinking about putting them on the X5.
And Dark5yde, there is no such thing as "the LEAST rice aftermarket." It's either RICE or NOT.

hahaha, how about a new by-law - NO MEMBER OF XOUTPOST SHALL PUT THOSE ON THEIR VEHICLE UNLESS THEY WANT TO BE PUNISHED!!!! or something to that effect!!!

hahaha, If you buy these lights - NO More Soup for you for one year!

poor seller on ebay probably got his hopes high - so many hits on his item in so little time!!! lol...
