Well done. These are a little to pricey for me but I applaud your work.

What does the plug n play bi xenon hid retrofit w/ LED angel eyes go for?

I don't get it I'm all in for making money but I thought the main focus of the forum was to help each other out not be rich

That's what I thought. I understand people are out here trying to make a business and profit and I have no problem with that, but when you are selling it for almost 3 times as much as the actual manufacture. That's a bit extreme.

I still couldn't find it on that website. Clearly looking in the wrong place.

I dont blame them for wanting to make some money, if its not your thingto go through them you can go ahead and buy it off alibaba. I think they are here to make money but also offer feedback, opinions, and advice. Do i think is expensive, yes! But i also dont think its wrong for them to offer a product at theor price.

Also, someone please get these and do a detailed review!

Found them. Strange no comment has been made regarding the backlash these have received.

Yes, they are, for the looks of them, the same set up as the OEM BMW led's, which also use reflectors instead of projectors.

Anyone notice the price drop?

BMW's OEM lights are reflectors in their adaptive LED lights. Projectors typically give the best output since the bulb is enclosed and the light is concentrated where it needs to go. The OEM led lights work just as well if not better since the light is physically in front of the reflector and shun directly onto the reflector, and from the reflector to the road. It's more focused in this manner versus the way the halogen lights are constructed with their reflector system.

Though personally, I love the round orb look of projector lenses.

It's kind of funny how the price dropped, but it's still not as cheap as other sellers online. I don't think we'll be hearing from the guys at One Eighty in this thread anymore since a handful of us have called them out for their pricing and business practices.
