I'll have to admit, a lot nicer than when posted on Ebay. The question is, how do you enjoy them? Are the projectors of good quality, hence cast a nice output on the road compared to stock?
they look good, not my style, but they do look alot better than the pics they have on eBay,
and just looking out for you, since these are fairly new, i would stamp your pics with your screenname or something, or else maybe the eBay seller might steal them and use them for his/her auction,

how is the fitment on the actual car? it's hard to see but are there any gaps? also what do all those 3 little lights do in the bottom? finally does the projector help the light output?
Fitment is near perfect. I have a small gap at the bottom, but only because my bumper isnt bolted on properly. I will fix that this weekend.
Projector output is soooo much better than standard reflector. The lighting looks more focused on the road rather than spread out like reflectors.

This weekend I'll take pictures of the cutoff as well as make a small video clip of the autoleveling in action.
HID bulbs do come with it; 6000k. Way brighter than our standard 4300k. Its a bright hot white with a small hint of blue.

+rep
Maybe I'll just make my IC vertical!
The 3 LEDs don't light up. I have them disabled. They make it look kinda awkward.

Btw... weren't the housings supposed to be black?
They have black housing available but I chose chrome for a closer OEM look.

Yes, the difference between projectors versus relectors is almost like night and day. Now I see why more and more cars are being made with projectors.

Never thought about that, but I definately will in the future. But I doube anybody would want these pics, not with my crooked IC and all!
Hmm....I guess these would be a nice way to go if you were thinking about getting them retro-fitted for a projector headlights...instead of cutting and ovening your OEM ones, you can get these instead. Although, I love the projector style portion of it but, still not a fan of the "3" led lights it displays and the "Rice" look of it. But, +rep for having the balls to go out to get them and have them installed into your ride. I'd still stick with the OEM ones and do the old fashion way and have them retro-fitted with another projector style project. Just IMO.

You did a great job and I think they look fine. Even the halos too. They're just like the BMW lights. I would love to see how they look with the LEDs on. +rep!

So the halos replace the DTL's?? If not, do they come on with the lights? How does that work?
The halos are connected to the Parking lights. I still have DRL's which is the same as the OEM. The halos will also come on automatically with the projectors.

No, this is what being unique looks like. Yes, I know, it's scary to be different, just like an abortion.

Thanks.
On a side note, I paid $328 for the set + $40 S/H. Originally they were upwards of $400 which was definately not worth the money.
If you're trying to compare these to retrofits made by AAC, then AAC makes a better looking headlight. I will agree on that. But many of us don't have the $500+ it costs for those headlights and labor, which makes these a good pricewise alternative.
F yeah, Im glad you did this. Even if you dont want the halos, there are some other ebay headlights that are around $250 and are just painted black, so at least we know there is hope with ebay. I hope someone picks up the black version of what you got and posts pics of those, I wonder how much different they would look.
And dont worry bout !ZAR!, he likes them, he just dont want to admit it.
Nice job stepping up and trying them out, +rep. They look quite good.
