Don't know about the first link, but the other 2 are garbage. Cheap plastic housings with plastic lenses.

My suggestion is to pick up a nice set of used OEM euro ellipsoids. It's the only way to go.

[smonkbmw]

even a set of us elips will work better than any ebay light.

:D soo go oem? can one of yall link me a site please?

[Mike325]

You can find oem stuff on ebay. Try there as well as the FS section here.

You know...

I have the set in that third link and I have an opinion about it.....Because I actually HAVE it...
I bought a blacked out angel eyes set without the xenon. I bought separate 8000k xenon from Mcolloch, which is a very good company...
I put laminx on the front of the lenses. You can't even tell it's there. I have not had any problem with crackage, condensation, burnt angel eye bulbs or light output dissatisfaction. You must take care of them if you want them to last, like ANY other mod you do to your car.

If you want them, if you like how they look and it goes with the decor of your car, then fuckin do it.
You wanted to go aftermarket in the beginning of the thread, now you want OEM. Make up your mind and do what YOU want. If you get the angel eyes, I suggest laminx to prevent pitting or an unexpected large stone, but don't not do it because other people says it looks gay. And trust me, not everybody on this forum will be happy with a mod you make. It's the nature of the beast.

Not to make this thread a learning session on how to buy on ebay, but look at both of those sellers feedback ratings.
Anyone with less than a 99% feedback rating should be avoided. If it is bellow 99% it means the seller is more than likely selling crap, or not taking care of his/hers customers.
And now back to the r3v thread bashers. :hitler:

I have a set of the angel eye lights and had no problem with them, the lenses are glass and they never leaked. But i could tell a difference in the light output, the OEM Hella euro ellips that i have in my car now has a better light pattern to them.
