    Default I installed a set for a customer: STAY AWAY FROM THEM

    They really aren't good at all, poor quality and cheap plastic.
    One of his high beam rear part where you place the bulb has broken off 2 days later.

    I wouldn't buy them.

    they are the same ones plus he gives u the cups for the high beams and bulbs that are great.
    here is my light installed http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/461741/4 they work great and make the road really nice clean white. Quality was good for aftermarket part, and the installation u could do it the easy way and spend another 50 buks to get the parts off a bmw dealer or go to good guys and radio shack and do it your self. My dad did mine sence he really knows about that stuff.

    Default IS there anything molded on the lenses, such as "DJAuto" or "Hella" or is it blank?

    What about Hella Ellipsoids vs Bosche Ellipsoids?

    I think they are both OEM, but i have heard the bosch are better for HID Kits.. anybody know?
