I cant decide whether or not these are crap...
I want some angels... just cant be bothered with the hassle of the conversion and dont know anyone who can do it for me so this is the real option for me but i cant make out whether or not they are pants...
opinions please

Yes.
Speak to kkodal78, he'll be able to tell you which one's to go for.

LOL! To expand on my answer of why I think they're poop....
The cluster looks small - too much space around them (too much black) and I think it will look bug-eyed on the car. Plus that small horizontal LED line above them doesn't look too great.
They're are some seriously good ones that some have done - I can only think of kkodal78 at the mo. Some have pictures up as well which will help you decide. Remember a silver X... See if I can find it.

yeah i kinda had the same feelings you did, i thought i might have been able to get away with it on a black x5 with black windows. but yes clarity has set in and they do indeed look crap.
I will try having a look but the most of the notes i could find were referring to either DIY jobs (hell no) or some mega bucks job!

First link looks cheesy. As far as the second one goes, it says right hand drive so which tells me it doesn't have the switch for lhd if needed. Also if you are planning on going for HIDs or already have them to swap these are not approved for HIDs. I've talk to the seller on second link while for a friend of mine and was not satistifed with the answers i got. I bought mines and my friends from germany and mine are made by Depo with HID approved, both RHD and LHD plus with 2 year warranty. If i remember it correctly i paid about £255 per pair. I hope this helps. I have pics of mine on my current mods thread.

Thanks for the responses. I dont think it's worth spending that much on them especially when depo are not much more and they are real quality. However the toss up at the moment is depo lights or a private number plate and right now I'm swinging towards the plate...

Agreed - if the plate is available NOW - go for that.
Lights laters!

Cool. Good call. The lights can be done at a later date and they'll always be available.
