They aren't plug and play. The connectors are different and coding is involved at least.

I don't see why, they're only xenon look, they're still halogens.

There won't be much if any improvement in light output, they'll just look like the xenon headlights.

Yeah it should be plug & play, similar to what USR is offering to the US guys

I'm still thinking about it. I've messaged them on ebay but still waiting for their response

Yeah just buy them so we can see, we are a selfish bunch!

My bad, I thought they were Xenons. Wondered why they were so cheap!

Waste money, go for LED OEM, much more expensive stuff, but looks and works gorgeous.

You can surely put H7R HID bulbs in these headlight housings.

I see no reason why they can't become a nice pair of Xenon headlights with projector lenses.

Subscribed. Let us know when you fit them!

BrennanF30 · 08-14-2016, 09:02 PM

Subscribed.

If these are direct plug and play for halogen cars then these are exactly what I have been looking for.

I need to know!

TodmordenLad · 08-15-2016, 03:52 AM

When I had halogens on an F11, I bought some BMW performance bulbs. Made a huge difference. £100 to purchase and have installed from memory

BrennanF30 · 08-15-2016, 08:41 AM

Right guys i have spoken to this company over the phone a few times today and they have confirmed they are what we are looking for.

Direct replacements for our halogen lights, plug and play copies of the original xenon units with the same led rings

I discussed the possibility of a group buy with f30post UK members and he was very interested and will work with us on price.

What i need from you guys is to confirm that you would like the group buy and i can get more discussions under way.

Awesome! I've just gotten a reply from them about it being plug & play items as well

Grimmy · 08-15-2016, 12:38 PM

We may be interested, but we're not gonna sign up to a group buy until someone else fits them and puts up pictures and videos

Get back on the phone, and tell them to send you a set cheap, or gratis, and if there any good, they might get a few sales on the back of it!
