E90 Headlights

I'm looking to replace the stock headlights on my e90...Could you guys post pics and brand of different headlights that are available out there? I saw some styles on ebay, but there are no pics of the headlights installed on the e90.

Thanks

Out of the ones on ebay, these are the ones I liked best:

Would like to see pics of them on the e90 though

Why would you change yours for those?? The OEM Xenons are great and much better than anything else besides euros.

As DM1 said, your OEM lights are HID and are much better made than anything you can purchase on eBay.

Other than Euros, there's no other choices that make sense.

I don't like the amber on the stock headlights...the links above are for the Euro headlights...I hadn't seen them on cars...I didn't like the black out one (on the pic above)...

The one in the fist link is nice though...its sides are white instead of the amber on the stock...it looks much nicer i think...

Those are not OEM Euro headlights that you showed, just non-OEM knock offs. If you want the real deal, search for Rover Active on ebay and they sell OEM Euro headlights, but it would set you back 2K. The most economical way is to get the CF headlights from mds82 like I said before.

Yeah, those eBay ones you posted are only acceptable for people with halogens to upgrade to. If you already have HID from the factory..the only upgrade is the Euro OEM headlight which doesn't have the amber.

Why would you take out your stock OEM Xenons and put crappy Ebay halogens? That just doesnt make sense. Either buy the Euro Xenons, or have MDS82 do his work and CF or blackout the reflector.

If you are looking for something a bit more comprehensive that is backed by a warranty and includes all of the wiring necessary, I would look into our Projector90s. We preinstall predator series angel eyes and HIDs if you choose that option and back them by a full lifetime warranty
