OK so I am close to purchasing some halo aftermarket headlights for my E53
Its a pre-facelift, non Xenon model - I think all the following are compatible / plug and play......
Before I order does anyone have any opinion - good / bad etc on any of these...

The first set look the most like genuine parts. The second set just look plain wrong! The third set somewhere in between.

Well,
For my 3 penneth worth..

I took my lappy out to look at my facelift lights, and the 2nd & 3rd set appear to be identical parts from different sellers.

With the conditions the pics were taken or the 2nd & 3rd listings.... the SECOND one is most like the OEM fitted part, even down to the vertical reflector lines on the main beam reflectors, and the diamond effect in the indicator lens...
The Halo looks like it will be nice & bright too.... So, personally I'd get the 2nd/middle listed set you mentioned.. number below..... then fit them with 4x 55watt HID's with 4500k bulbs..

Thanks guys - food for thought ! I do like the brighter (more than the duller / yellow-ey) look - so unless brighter bulbs can be fitted to the first set on the list (which I do like the look of) then I think second set on the list it will be !
