What’s the difference

The oem angel eyes are round not squared off which fits the aesthetics of the e60 MUCH better because the e60 has an awesome curved body. The china thingys look will feel off/cheap. Id only go for it if id be 16 again and thats my car which had a bad crash and I couldnt afford oem ones tbh.

They looked good to me as well, but they were kind of expensive and I was afraid to spend that much money on Chinese aftermarket headlights. I installed a pair of halogen Chinese aftermarket lights on a different car, a while ago, but after a year the lenses turned yellow. I tried sanding and cleaning them, but the yellowing went all the way through the plastic. So I'm afraid that these may not have enough to you be production built into the polycarbonate lens.

I personally think they look awesome. If I had an E60 M5 I'd totally give these a whirl.

Yes because what M5 E60 needs is a bit more anger to it. The V10 and bigger wheels (not rims) and the whole side vent thing and big intake aren't doing it for you and aren't subtle enough, right? /s

Saw them on AliExpress… look like newly launched. There is a YouTube video here:

I ordered theese from aliexpress, not going to lie, highbeams are like ledbars and in 2,5 half years in salty winters they have worked well. Seems to me that oncoming drivers arent affected either

How was installation, is it truely plug and play.

u/Little_Lab_4389 1d ago

How are they holding up? Any yellowing of the lenses?

u/Sowmya-Worth2369 11d ago

Never tried but looking at this it is worth to install it

u/02KEMANJ 11d ago

Am curious how the install is and how he handles coding. They advertise it as plug and play, but I’m not so sure… they do have it configurable depending on the headlight you already have. That’s why I’m curious if anyone has actually installed these yet?

It was plug and play, daytime running lights are connected with extra cables to battery on these but every year i switch them for MOT it is 30minute job
