$550 LCI Headlight Set New... But Are they correct?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-3-Series...4f0c50&vxp=mtr
They look exactly right but it says this: Reamark: For vehicles with headlight levelling (electric). With servo motor for LDR. What does that mean? I thought halogen doesn't have this, will it still be a straight swap for my e90 prelci halogens? |

I don't understand why your saying that they won't work on a US spec car. Assuming these are legit, they would be a direct swap. Euro spec and US spec are the same size and shape, as well as the same internals. The only difference is how they look, cosmetically.
I actually bought Euro LCI Bi-xenons from this exact seller. Great seller, quick shipping btw. |

No need to be so defensive, I'm not buying them based on your advice, I was just originally thinking the same thing, that euro spec are very similar and theoretically should work. As I said before thank you for your advice. |

You need the headlight leveling system that is used in Europe. They have different setups to prevent blinding oncoming traffic. In the US we have clown's putting HID bulbs in halogen headlights to look cool and blind oncoming cars.

Despite the fact that the headlights have auto-leveling, you can manually level the lights so there wouldn't be a problem blinding oncoming traffic. If the OP wants it to be thorough, then there are shops that can aim the headlights for him.
