Wow, those are very nice! I installed some other type last year and they suck! Slightly brighter that the original, mainly whiter. I painted my roof, (bad experience trying to wrap it). Since I have no idea the original pics are, you can see my car here:

I have meet a person here on the forums named Simon (nomis_nech). I talked to him about installing Orion's on my e60. He has a new 'technique' on how to help the AE to be very uniform. All I have to say is I am pretty impressed. I have not posted any pictures of my car yet on the forums but here is a start. As I do more mods more pictures will come. I plan on doing a few more mods on the car. This weekend I am going to be taking off my Wheels and painting the brake calipers red with Dupicolor. I will be sure to post pics of it when I am done. If you guys are looking into Orion AE I would not hesitate. Simon is a phenomenal at what he does. 
BTW he coded my car as well.

You can mail headlights to Simon. When I was there he had other e60 headlights he is working on as well. He does a lot of these. They are real bright. When I am at a stop light I can see my AE clearly @ 2pm waiting at a red light behind a car. They look real sharp. I just painted my Brake calipers last night. Took me about 8 hours to do it all, but man do they look good. w00t w00t. Wife is making fun of me but I don't care.

I just painted mine too...they look awesome!! 
shipping is a good idea, I just want to get a good deal on new/used headlights since mines are "too dirty" to fix.

Haha, I think it would be more cost effective for people to mail me their lights instead of me jumping on a plane somewhere, lol.
With that said... I ain't promising anything, but I do have another trick up my sleeve that's coming.
I am waiting for the parts to arrive to test it out to make it even sexier than the Orions that have been done so far. Assuming it works out, haha.
