everyone's getting into the market. i dunno if i would necessarily trust some no name offering JDM look.... imho, euro projectors with HID's. way better than angel eyes.

They were stock on all euro e34`s.. the parklight/citylight is in top of the ligt. HID is just xenon bulbs.

The lights you found on ebay look a lot like the on ei bought, i bought Inpro lights (well known german manufactor)

Nice. How do these lights compare to say putting 9005 or Toshiba HIR 9012 bulbs into US ellipsoids? Thanks!

depo is the generic brand of stuff. when it comes to headlights, Hellas are the ****, if you can get them. They don't make angel eyes though. Depo's are alright quality, they hold up, just not as well. it's sort of like when you go to the store to buy some Apple Jacks, and they're out so you consider picking up the shop-rite Apple Rings. then you're like wtf am i doing. Many people here have Depo tail lights, myself included. while they have served me well the seals start to go bad quickly, and i know that a set of Hella's would be more reliable. plenty of times depo stuff will break, you replace it, it breaks, and then you're like ****, i shouldve just bought the expensive but tested and true version instead of having to replace this 3 times.

dont get me wrong, depo is fine. its just not top notch.

That's right. I could careless about things like "angel eyes," as to me they do nothing for the car. However, brighter lights are helpful. How do these euro type headlights compare in *brightness/lighting* to say putting in 9005 or Toshiba HIR 9012 bulbs? Brighter? Same? Not as good? Thanks!

9005 or Toshiba HIR 9012 bulbs are unknown for me. Over here we have H1, H3 and H4 bulbs. The euro lights with 100w bulbs or the Osram Silverstar is pretty damn bright.

Don't get those because they are the CHEAP "FK" version! Get the "DEPO" style if you're going to get the Angel Eyes. Read my posting somewhere in here about my experience when I purchased mine through Ebay!
