I bought a pair of these in black and had them fitted last week. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-Z4-E84-2003-2008-CHROME-PROJECTOR-ANGEL-EYE-HEADLIGHTS-E-MARKED-ROAD-LEGAL-/150766137922?_trksid=p3286.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D2%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D7022597131731621052. Has anyone had them installed and found that the light direction is off, and that they have a blue tinge at the top of the light range which then illuminates road signs blue?
 
I've got them fitted as well. There is a slight blue tinge at the peripheries but nothing too bad. The beam pattern was off as well but is easily rectified by adjusting the pivots at the back.

Thanks jimmypop. Did you adjust the ones on the top of them or just the ones in the heel arch? Also how did you get them to the correct level and direction did you aim them at something and if so from what distance did you aim them to get that right?
 
Fitted these as well. This won't really help you now, but i parked my car about 6' from my garage door, switched the lights on and marked the beam pattern onto tape fixed to the door BEFORE i started removing anything. Never moved the car until the new lights were installed. Also had to adjust one side, but did it before refitting the bumper cover. Would imagine being very tight and a pita to adjust with it fitted??.
 
Used the same method as above although yet did require adjustment to MOT. They were able to do it using the top adjusters which are visible through the engine bay.
