Good question. In all the excitement I kinda forgot to think about that...
Would those LCI placeholders fit?

Can someone post pics of the H8 bulb and placeholder pleace.

So i'm cruising eBay and what do i stumble on: 5W High Power LED Angel Eyes.
I think: Cool John (aka brabusw209amg) is selling them on eBay.
But it's not John.
Then i notice the price of ?51,57 EUR (£42.98 GBP) and i remeber paying them $245 USD. YES $245 USD!!
Bought the LED's of eBay for 51 EUR causse i just wanted to know what the diference is going to be.
Here they are, he (John) didnt even bother of removing the original sticker.

I'm not even gonna bother to do. He's probably gonna whine anyway about the scratches and dips i made with the srews and that he can't resell the LED's blablabla.
Man i dont have time for this kinda shit.

So gonna take it the positive way: Now i have two set of LED's i can test with hmm...

Oh yes, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160487122851

Hello Guys !!

I want to instal LCI halo headlight on my e60 (11/2006)

I ordered the LCI headlight 1EL 009 449-02 and 1EL 0099 449-01 but when i opened the box i found the Pre-LCI halo headlight

When you take a look on the website you can see that there are severale references associated to the LCI headlight

7 177 727 - 7 177 727-01 - 7 177 727-02 - 7 177 727-03 - 7 177 727-04 - 7 177 727-05 - 7 177 727-06 - 7 177 727-08 - 63 12 7 177 727

The last reference is the good (i checked on realoem) But why i received the bad headlight ???

Here the website with the headlight description http://www.oscaro.com/projecteur-pri...-2438768-259-p

They send you the wrong ones! (but that you all ready figured out )
Do you have your order mail (confirmetion for 1EL 009 449-01 and 02)? If so, contact them for exchange.
