Anyone have these headlights?

The DDE Lightning™ Enhanced (E30 to E39, E53)?

Im thinking about getting them since they are lowest priced. Let me know.

You may need to do some more searching...I am pretty sure those are just the Angel Eye Rings that you add to a set of ellipsoids. They are separate pieces. If you buy them together, they run about $500-600 for a good set...They don't specify real well on the description on the website.

Yeah, see I didn't know if it was Headlights w/ Eyes, Headlights, or Eyes. I guess I will start saving up. I have no clue how I am going to pay for all my shat.

yeah, the stuff is expensive, but its a great upgrade cause you are going from cheap NA spec plastic to Euro spec glass housing. You can just get the ellipsoid headlights without the Eyes in it for a lot cheaper. You don't have to have the Eyes to have awesome headlights.

If your looking to upgrade your entire headlight assembly (not just add rings), buy these. I did, the company is great and the product is first rate.

Check out Bavauto as well.
Make sure you know what you're getting... You're probably better off by buying the whole headlight assembly (SEE JLLPHAN REPLY). I was having the same dilema and decided to go for the whole assembly. This way I get no surprises or regrets, the only problem is $$$$ lots of it!

Just keep in mind that Bavauto sells the Depo brand headlights. They are a little cheaper in price and build quality. They aren't bad (nothin bavauto sells is), but if you want the best, buy ZKW.

Actually, bavauto sells in-pro.

[TMac325is]

are the in-pros bad?

[El Presidente]

they aren't bad, but they don't have the best glass. Rumor is they have weak and/or thin glass.

I also thought bavauto sold inpro. Umnitza sells ZKW (the cream of the crop) and Depo headlight assemblies.

If you have stock american headlights with the plastic front, you CANNOT add the angel eyes to it. The plastic casing is fused together and you would have to cut it open and generally make a bigass mess of them to do it.

Go with the link that jilphan said, the ZKW headlights are what you want. El Presidente has the depo headlights. I think he's satisfied with them, I'll let him share his experiences.

Personally, I'd go with one of THESE since I'm a non-flashhy, plain kind of guy. (I'd get the 405$ ones, Plug n Play with stone guard since I do LOTS of highway travel) Since you wanted the angel eyes, get the ones Jilphan linked to - the ones umnitza makes with the angel eyes already installed. Pricy, but you WILL NOT be unsatisfied.

[El Presidente]

Yeah, I'm satisfied with them. They tend to fog, but mine have only done so 2 or 3 times in 2 months, all of which occured in the first week or so.

Whoops, my bad bro. I get them confused. So the joint consensus is

1st- ZKW
2nd- Depo
3rd-Inpro
