You might be able to put HID bulb in them but with thoes cheap projector lenses you will get some crazy glare all over the place and the light out put wouldn't be that great, but some one should be able to retro-fitt a BMW projector lens in them, but they look nice, Sean

NOW I have to decide what color to get to match my PW bB. Black might contract too harshly.....anyone want to share their opinion? It would be much appreciated.
Consider getting the black and blacking out your grill.

Hey munch, those are the wrong ones compared to the ones posted^^^^^^^^ in the first post.

The first ones, had NO turn signal LED bar across the top, but the ones you posted are different.

Sorry.. but those are different.

I'd personally take the ones originally posted.. they do look like newer BMW halos

and with the Black Housing for the lights, that'll look sharp against my BSP ;)

BTW, SOMEONE needs to post links for the FIRST headlights!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :twisted:

These taillights look very good installed. The company that makes them test fitted them on my car and they looked really good. They took a couple pictures of them installed, I will see if they could give me the pics this weekend.

They were actually going to come out sooner but they were having some issues with the bulbs not fitting in perfectly so they wanted to fix the first. I should've had mine about a month ago but they had to perfect the lights first.
