Just wondering if anyone has tried this type of pre-LCI E60 headlights below.

Now I know they're not OEM or anything as good as as LCI ones but given the huge amount of time/money to be spent on the LCI conversion, this might be a better alternative since its plug and play.
I wonder how the build quality and longevity is.
The brow is white which is ok since in Ireland people being idiots think the brow is a turn signal, but not a big fan of the way it doesn't look like a bar but just individual LEDs. The halos could be brighter also, but still way brighter than OEM halogen which is invisible in daylight.

One thing is for sure they look way better than pre-LCI halogen OEM (anything does).

ive seen these on ebay....all over ebay....i would warn against putting these on any E60....they would look like those cheap kits that you see on hondas and out here in detroit GMT800 GM SUVs and Trucks....its just not worth it. at all.

I think the label on one of the lights speaks for itself: YUK

Thats the factory halogens
Don't know what the BMW designers were smoking when they put that into a 21st century car.

If the custom umnitza headlights had a proper lens it would be awesome.

Will these lights be plug and play? Or do we have to split wires?
