Very GOOD bargain on eBay for a COMPLETE X5 HID setup

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2451284569

$200 (well, the starting bid) for a whole SETUP, meaning projectors, bulbs, and ballasts! This is the price I paid for only the projectors! Somebody better get on this! (By the way, I'm NOT the seller, I just found the auction.)

yes red they will with some modification to our housings, but it would be a easy fit since you already have most of the work done, but if i wereyou i would sell your setup currently and buy a new set of headlights and then buy these cause new headlights make the work of a difference when it comes to a projector conversion

i will buy a new set when i start on my next project

do you mean "world of a difference"...either way, why do you say that....my headlights are foggy on the outside...and my light output sucks...would it really make a big diff with new headlight housings?

with new headlights, the car will look completely different, it will bring out the front end some more, and with a projector conversion first thing, you can make it look oem as possible and you wont have my conversion with old headlights and a new setup, basically you break in the headlamps with the projector, it look 100x better, and also your lite output will be better from a brand new lense

mike has new lenses and his look sweet, so fresh and so clean, i might get a set, i can get them a set for 400 at a local shop

Has anyone heard of a compound that can be used to buff old headlites out? I heard that stuff works pretty well...

its called wet sand paper and a fine paper you need, but then you can fuck them up, i would just spend the money and invest in the new headlights

clpower you would need d2s bulbs. and projectors or modify your housing to fit and focus the d2s bulb. you;ll need to mount them about 1/4" more in than what it allows if you just hold the bulb in the hole. i haven't tried this so thats a guess from comparing a 9006 filament position to the center of the d2s bulb.

red i didn't know that was you. anyway what set are you talking about?
