They're brighter than in the photos and the 'ring bulb hotspots' don't show... I darkened them to show off the rings. Yeah, I know... one of my fog light bulbs itself is messed so it's dimmer.

BTW these are regular H1 bulbs. I tried to mix and match ballast/bulb and it was bad. My 'old' ballasts couldn't ignite (though it tried) the 'new' H1 bulbs I got. They're different 'brand'. I tell you, once you go HID, you don't go back. I'm waiting for matching ballasts ;)

I'm getting 'white' tape soon to replace the black cutoff for the halos.

looks great dude.. :D

question.. why is the high-beam filled with light? it doesn't look like the bulb is on.. is the ring illuminating the reflective bit? (in reference to the top 2 pics)

the setup looks nice... what kind of rewiring did you have to do and how long did the install take?

Even with eyebrows there's a blank spot at 12 O'clock.

I'll keep the old lights

The E34 has round lights, and even with the eyebrows, it doesn't appear to solve the 12 O'Clock area of the halo.

He has blackout tape over the lights to make it not a full ring...

It looks like this without the top blacked out.

Whatever floats your boat.

You like condensation in your lights too?

It's resealed. Aftermarket tails, fogs, sidemarkers, bumper lights... all resealed. If you don't you're just asking for trouble.

To the naysayers... each their own ;)

Depends on the brow. Some have 1, 2 or no 'cutout' for the light.

Angel lights are cool and everything but IMO they belong on E39's and E60's...

I like them... in fact, I'm shopping for some of my own.
