Can you ask if the projectors work well with HIDs? Seems like it doesn't come with bulbs as it states that it needs H7 halogens:

Note - NOT interchangeable with Xenon headlamps.
-Requires four H7 halogen bulbs.
-Reuse OE turn signal socket and bulbs.
-UV treated Polycarbonate lens.

These are real!

I've been looking for a seller not in china forever on these! They are truly plug and play HID headlights that look exactly like the "old" OEM style.

I think the H7 remark on the listing is wrong, as the others I've seen from China that are truly PnP have an actual Xenon bulb in them. This looks to be the same unit from what I can tell. MARS Performance even sells this unit too, but theirs has a xenon bulb.

These look so good and pretty much oem! im tenpted to buy these even with only a few months left on my lease. Ebay seller says he has one more left in stock. I still do have many questions in regards to function of headlight. my main concern would be adding hid kit to the projector and also if we must put bulb in inner projectors which oem headlights do not have. It would be cool to have highbeams in inner projector and low beam hid kit in out projector. For 600 it may be worth it to buy and just have on for couple months before i turn in the car.

Ebay reply from MB national.....they didnt answer any of my questions about plug n play or led angel eyes.... response stated out of stock and will take 6-8 weeks to replenish.

Called the phone # twice and all I got was a generic Google voicemail to leave a message.

The H7 remark is correct, they just added H7 HID kit. The only problem with such aftermarket headlights is the quality of actual projector. I have seen some bad designs for aftermarket projectors that will overheat (especially with 50W+ HIDs) and damage the chrome coating of projects bowl and which will significantly reduce light output. I would ask the seller to provide the pictures of actual output cutoff (30 ft. on white hall) and who manufactured the projectors.

I was thinking very seriously about retrofitting the adaptive bi-xenon that probably will cost me around 2k. It's fun to do diy though.
Anyway I hope this MBnational's headlight turns out to be a good alternative.

It is definitely H7 bulbs because there is no ballast attach to it. The thing is, it states 4 H7s are needed, but there is only one access for a bulb at the back.

Probably a general mistake. Most of these aftermarket headlights use the same bulb for both high and lowbeams. A reflector internally just flips itself to aim the light differently, that way it utilizes the same bulb for both.
