Hey guys

I finally want to change the stock lights on my e60, but don't know which one or brand to get.

I want to change front (both bulbs & the halo rings) and fog lights

Can someone refer any good products? Nothing too expensive, not trying to make my car a show car ;-X

Thanks!

Typically, any lighting you get off ebay is going to throw error codes for BMWs. Brabus' lights are verified by many members (from what i've read) to be fully compatible with our cars.

I would not recommend going the Ebay route for this type of thing. Speaking from personal experience, there is nothing more annoying than an HID ballast going after 2 months (happened to me with ebay stuff).

True, but that's if you buy it from the wrong seller. There's a ton selling the genuin HID made in Japan & USA
