looks sick

tmv, do you remember the seller you got yours from?

I think it's "Vortex Motoring"
"p.s.team" also have them. Do NOT get the chrome housing though. It's just the link to the seller. Maybe contact them about black housing.

i emailed ps team, a search for vortex motoring in stores and items comes up empty

Check out mine too. They are the same ones that tmv has on his, except mine have been modified.

well, i wrote ps team asking if they have the spyder with black background , this was the reply

Dear wasp9166,

Item not include or come with black background from spyder

Sorry

a search on spyders site for projector headlights shows nothing for x5

Spyder Auto | Projector Headlights

i guess they no longer make them?

what's another option ,hehe

Buy chromed housing, open it up and paint it flat black

i found em thru a part number search i got from spyder

01-03 BMW X5 E53 CCFL Halo Projector Head Lights- Black

but question, say the halos go bad?, you'd have to replace the whole unit? on my 330 i can just take headlight apart and replace em easily.....these hold up ok?

The ballast for CCFL AEs is inside the headlight, so yes you need to open it up to replace. If I need to do that, I'll move it outside. They hold up fine for me.
