Progress or Not? I wonder what a repair would be on one of these things?

[slammin.e28]

Xenon lamps on e39 with all the bells and whistles is already $1200 unit.....

$10k for a headlamp pls.

Very impressive...but looks expensive haha

[ELVA164]

Will these fit my Depos with HIDs? Does it matter if my ballasts are wired up?

Exactly why when my xenon headlights on my e39 needed replacing, I went with Depo

Exactly why I drive an e34

€14/pr for 9006's when they blow out. It's a great gimmick, the people who buy these things will be trading up for the next new model in 2-3yrs(or whenever the warranty ends) anyway. They'll never really have to deal with any issue$.

I hate how all headlamps have the polycarbonate lenses. They get all messed up within 2-3 years. I realize they are lighter than glass, but glass holds up much better.

Also safer in a collision, right? No glass shards on the road surface.

Poly is a lot cheaper than glass. And is easier to make complex shapes. If you want a simple round headlight then glass is pretty easy.

so how do I get these into an e30?

Once this is standard on cars nighttime collisions are probably going to go way down if the beam spreads out into the woods

[Dirty325ix]

and just another set of headlights that are going to blind the shit out of everyone in oncoming traffic.....seriously I don't care how much you can see with those its the person in the other lane that cant see shit that just caused a head on collision

I have to stay off highways at night because I cant see anything in these low e30s that are somehow always right where peoples headlights are pointed(and pitted windshield)
