There are thousands of them in the UK and Europe and a huge mess of them here in the US as well.

+ 1to RHD ones.

The rings look awesome but that looks like the same lens from the earlier post.
Did you mod any headlights with a different lens/shroud?

It's for people to go from pre-LCI halogens to aftermarket xenon.

I tend to think that the pre-LCI halogen owners in the states probably don't know very much about their E60 in the first place, which is how they ended up with halogen (or purchased it because it's cheaper). That being said, I simply can't fathom a "good" market here as opposed to Euro countries.

Honestly, if I was a vendor, what I would make instead is LCI looking headlights for pre-LCI xenon people. Make that plug and play, and BAM, I bet people would be buying it in floods even if it's priced at $1,400.

I have to agree. Make LCI looking headlights for pre- LCI xenon poeple like myself for simple plug and play and I pay $1,000 plus for them. Throw in some Orions and it would be even better.

Maybe yes, but we will need a pre-order.

LCI headlights are not going to be $1400 But the LCI is more troubling for the coding, so we're staying away for right now til we figure all those out.

People say they would be $1000 but they won't.

Coding? Why would that be necessary unless trying to enable cornering light? Just retain the same functions as the pre-LCI xenons and voila, no coding required. Cornering light is pretty worthless anyway.
