Hi all,

Been looking at these:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/02-08-BMW-Z4-Black-Dual-Halo-Projector-Headlights-/380663324916?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item58a14d60f4&clk_rvr_id=493877655179

~£350 for HID version

Does anyone have photos of zeds with these in them? Or any comments about them (is the quality Ok, do they fit properly etc?) I don't know much at all about this sort of stuff so any input would be appreciated
 
This was Nosa's old motor

IIRC there was some condensation on one of the units, but nothing major. The AEs don't work very well. Other than that, they do look good for non OEM units
 
You HAVE to get Right hand driver versions if you live in the UK. All of these on ebay are not Right hand drive, they are Left hand drive meaning you'll fail an MOT due to offside light blinding issues. It's very hard to come by RHD versions of these blacked out light units, trust me i've been looking. :thumbsup:
 
This seller had RHD halo headlights recently, contact them to see if they have any left or if they plan to have anytime soon mate http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?itemId=160979878206 :thumbsup: i was looking at them as well but i waited until i found oem clear headlights at the end but it took me 7 -8 months to find them

Yup! I got mine from that seller! Have ordered two pairs now due to the original ones being stolen! :cry: I have their direct phone number somewhere on my phone, which means you'll save around £20 postage which they charge for to cover ebay and paypal fee's.

I'll post it below for you to place a order:

Their phone number is [just checking will edit post when I find it]
 
Thanks! Have sent a message to seller.

On a related note if I clean up my current ones, how much do you think I could get for them? They are xenon, was hoping for ~£70 each? Or is that a bit optimistic
 
Contacted seller, very helpful.

What do people think of these? These are RHD and road legal:

It's a lot of money for headlights, what are peoples thoughts?
 
I think they look too aftermarket and somewhat cheap

I would bide my time and find some clear headlights for an LED angel eye project

I prefer them in comparison to prefacelift ginger headlights but bear in mind that they will be halogens not xenon as you mentioned your current headlights are. Not sure if there will be any installation issues. If you are not in a hurry and can be extremely patient go for oem headlights otherwise those aftermarket one with black inners are not bad in my opinion. Dont get the chrome version as they look very cheap i saw a chrome one in real life and was not good.

Au contraire, AP. Happy with mine:



Still, it's all about opinions and there's always plenty of different ones about.
