But that's somewhat expected for aftermarket parts... unless it's a premium upgrade. Regardless though, it would still be better than the stock halogen set up. And if you are up for it, you could always order a better projector and retrofit it and make it a weekend!




Don't discourage him, lol. I have to say though, I do wish some people would just pull the trigger and go ahead and buy these aftermarket E60 headlights. I imagine the reason why they would consider these is because they're not quite willing to spend the few grand for OEM LCI conversion, so they're looking for alternatives. I actually want to see what this looks like, and that other Eagle headlight that pops up once a month in threads installed on cars to take pics.
You want to see if they are good at his expense if they are crappy.

I too wanna see what these lights look like but am reluctant due to what I hear about the cheapy quality of some aftermarket stuff especially on ebay. A proper OEM retrofit from BMW is eye wateringly expensive and no way I could afford that. Actually in the end I'll probably settle for used LCI Halogens (most likely source = ebay) into which I want an HID kit and use Sas' cables to fit. Now what errors I end up with if any is anyone's guess .

To think these guys have the molds/equipment to make a replica any way they choose and this is the limit of their imagination? I would love to have access to that manufacturing/design facility.
