new headlights on ebay

[trumpetr]

You don't need to buttsplice. There was a thread here somewhere you use spade connectors. If you need to tap halos, use inline snap in.

Anyway, what bulbs do the halos use on that? You'd do well to post pictures and a short review so that we can all benefit

sorry I didnt have my camera handy-

the halos are pre wired in,and are blue in color, and very dim.

Once i pull these out and replace, I will take pics, and provide a more detailed experience.
Took my chances buying off of flea bay.
Sorry i dont have much more to offer, right now.
Ill try to take and post some pics of the current install, and the replacement.

Since previous post,,,,,,,drove into town,,,,,came back home,,and while looking at the front of the car,,noticed that there is a crack in the drvs side high beam,,,,,,,my car is a rock magnet. (waiting on the clear lens protectors from bavAuto).
No reply from the seller of the lights, as to a replacement lens. Not sure there is.

One more reason to buy from a reputable source

I have the Depo's like the ones in the first post in my car. Quality is pretty good, but make sure to get Lamin-X and to seal them around the rings because most of them do have leakage issues. After doing those two things they no longer leak, and are nearly indestructible.




Oh, and I tried the smoked Lamin-X thing a while back, and don't recommend it. It's more of a dark brown, and like LiquidTiger said, it doesn't perfectly cover the circumference, and just doesn't look good. I ended up using some clear Lamin-X for protection purposes. These headlights are nice since it is easy to get in the city lights when you buy the euro bumper trim, since the bulbs and plugs transfer right over. Looks great too!

I had the lamin-X covers on my DEPO Halo's... they looked Ok, but on my next set of headlights Im going to smoke them lightly with hobby tint and then put clear lamin-X on them.. cause I didnt like that you could see the sides of the lens..

Also, the DEPO lights arent great... mine only lasted 6 months





The Lamin-X was on them since BEFORE they were installed and a lens still managed to fall off...

S'ok though, cause I managed to crash that corner of the car into a wall two weeks later at the track.

Took you long enough

Took you long enough

are you saying that all i do is ruin threads?!

I'm saying that together, we have not only ruined this thread, but the entire website. I would not be surprized if, soon, all BMW owners threw their keys away. I'm tempted to undue the hurt and delete all of my posts, leaving you to look like a man making up quotes.
