Help with xenon headlights

I have an 07 328xi that came stock with halogen headlights.. I'm looking to convert those into the stock xenon lamps(xenon package). i'm not sure what would be better/ more cost efficient. To replace them with oem or buy angel eyes from ebay or something like that and get an hid conversion kit. here are some links to ones ive been looking at:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/06-08...Q5fAccessories

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/E90-3...Q5fAccessories


Does any one know anything about these if they are good or not and what would be the a better alternative.

I'd recommend sticking with DEPO brand projectors. They are one of the better quality aftermarket options for the E90. Some of the other brands have terrible quality in terms of fit, finish and light output.

OE are optimal but expensive and hard to find. The risk you run in a used set of headlights is that some of the tabs or mounting points are broken. But by all means, if you find a great quality used set of OE headlights at a good price, go for it.
