Want to know what? This has been discussed to death. Light output sucks, angel eyes look amazing. Quality is hit and miss.

So do they fit and work in LCI models or not? All the pics people have posted seem to have been 2008 or older models. Really want to know if I can hook these up with ear on my 2011 335i sedan...

a) LCI and Pre-LCI headlights are the same overall shape, fitment won't be an issue

b) I believe RollingGears (another brand with the same style headlights) offer a Pre-LCI and an LCI version... of course, they both look the same (as expected based on my comment above)

c) someone on a different thread recently confirmed that they fit the Pre-LCI version on their LCI without any issues

Where I think you'll run into issues is that these are halogen replacements, and I would imagine your 335i is equipped with xenons. I'm sure with some coding, possibly an adaptor, it will fit work just fine, but I'm not sure what exactly is involved.

Also, be aware that your actual light output will definitely decrease compared to OEM xenon. This is an "upgrade" best recommended for people with halogen lights on their cars from factory.

Hope that helps. Good luck.

So... I was thinking about getting these but I noticed Spyder just released a similar model and style. Has anyone checked them out? I hate the lack of LED signals but I wonder if the projector quality is better than these Mars ones...

I've had other spyders before, those projectors weren't good at all. The angel eyes will look good, but that's it.

Those projectors are going to be garbage. Plan on retrofitting some higher quality projectors into those if you get them.
