F30 M sport Headlight options

I just purchased my 2014 328i xDrive M sport that has every possible option except the lighting package. WHO DOES THAT? The halogens SUCK.

I've spent the last few days googling and reading threads on aftermarket and OEM retrofit headlight options. Most of which were pretty old. Just wanted some up to date information/opinions.

I'm not really up for the OEM retrofit job. The active/adaptive headlight movement is just not important enough to me to spend that much and go through that much work. I just want angel eyes and projectors/xenon so I can actually see where I am going at night. It's pretty said that my E60's headlights BLOW AWAY these garbage halogens on the F30. Wow.

So here are the 2 options I've researched.

#1 Depos. Which are currently unavailable. $600. Are they worth the wait? Will they EVER be available?

#2 Pro Tuning Lab headlights. $400 No name really I guess. Just not sure how "r1c3r" these will look. I am not a huge fan of "not oem" looking headlights. They have different styles and models, I just picked one to link.

Thoughts and opinions are very welcome.

I used Depo on my VW previous to my 328 and they were by far the best aftermarket headlights I ever bought in terms of quality and workmanship.

From what I understood is you are running on a budget and you just want an oem look with better lighting. Depot headlights is your best bang for buck. However if you are not in a hurry, then there might be another option for you.

These are D1S HID with angel eyes and completely plug n play. Shipping in Jan 2018

More information.

The Depo lights are NOT HID Xenon. No ballast.

The Pro Tuning Lab comes with ballasts and bulbs.
