HeadLights upgread from stock to rings/Projectors

Hallo all,

I been meaning to upgrade my '06 325i base headlights from factory halogen to rings/ projector halo's. I been searching and searching and came across these DEPO ones, but I'm not sure so wanted to ask y'all. Here is a link on these headlights I came across on EBAY....what do you all think good/bad/not sure, any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

If your spending that much, get the pair from "fishcake321" on ebay. I have a 06 325 (non-xi) and installed with no errors.

I've been plagued with this problem myself since I bought my car two years ago. I upgraded to "Euro" halogens and it's a nice improvement without those fugly ass ambers, but still, w/o AE's it still doesn't feel right. So blaze, it was a straight swap, no modifications at all? Got some pics man? fishcake's listing says "black housing", but I need them to be as white as my lights like below. I don't want smoke, that'll fugg up the look I'm going for.

black housing =/= smoke

smoke is from a layer of tint. black housing just means what was chrome inside your headlight is black.

Hey Blazex4,
How are the headlights sealed? Do they appear that moister or water would get in? Also would you send me a link with the "fishcake321" ones too...Thanks

I just saw the ones from "fishcake321" they kind of look similar to the ones I looked earlier. Blaze you got any pics?

Just ordered a pair from Ebay for $600 with HID. I'll post pics when I get them installed. Can't wait to get them.
