PLEASE HELP me ID my headlights, may not even be BMW ones

I know this sound odd but I don't know what I have as far as headlights. I bought a 2007 335i E903 that was wrecked from an auction. I am putting the front end back together and I don't see any logical way the headlights fit the car or know why the brackets were butchered. Now that I have a new radiator support and fenders, etc. I am trying to piece the car back together and the lights look wrong. They are aftermarket lights with no part numbers on them at all. Are they LCI? The brackets have had parts cut out of them and obviously needs some extra brackets rigged up, too.

They're not LCI, the LCI headlights dont have the thick side stripes.

You're missing the bracket that surrounds the headlight.

Part number 51647116707 for the left 51647116708 for the right.

Those are the eBay chinese/Taiwanese headlights. You can see that little orange colored rectangle shaped canbus decoder in the 4th pic.

I wish this site would auto subscribe me to my own posts. I just noticed all the replies. I just figured out what I have. The idiot who last owned my car butchered the headlight brackets because I have 4 door headlights. I Googled a number of the front lens and it showed up as 2006-2010 SEDAN headlights from "Reliable" aftermarket company. Now I know why they don't seem like they will ever fit or match up with my new hood/fender/bumper. They are the wrong lights.

Soooo, does anyone have suggestions on nice (decent priced) lights for a E92 or E93?
