hmm the headlights look hot. I'd get them. Hell if we could confirm they work for my car. I'll pick them up as well.
But how could they fit cars from 03-08? 06-08 have different wiring...

for one thing, those are graphic images, not pictures of the real thing.
Looks a little sketchy to me.

id be worried on the projectors in those housings. i doubt they're the hella projector that the z4 comes with.
i've installed a few of these style headlights (not z4) that come with projectors on a few friends cars and all of them had a really poor and uneven cutoff |

Looks sketchy. Are all headlights 03+ and 06+ all the same fitment? Someone on this board should be close enough to drive to them and check it out. Anyone in south CA close to Rowland Heights?

98.4% Positive feedback which is good especially since he has sold tons of stuff. These look great if they are the real deal, somebody in Cali has too check these out

You guys are crazy. This is typical Chinese garbage found on eBay. Probably not DOT-legal, will probably leak, blind oncoming traffic, and put you (and others) at risk on the road.
And you want to put this crap on your nice BMW? Maybe the Civic crowd, but I'm shocked to see this even being considered by anyone here.

They look cool, but I doubt that the headlights are quality items. All you need is for one of those halo rings to not light up to give you a full days headache of trying to figure a way to fix it.

Everyone hold your horses! I too fell into the "they are crap bandwagon" before when ZomkSpeed sold replacement headlights for the X5.
A company by the name of DEPO, which sold through ZomkSpeed, sold me a pair of headlights for my 2001 X5. I purchased them for two reasons a) I wanted Angel Eye lights and it would be prohibitively expensive going with BMW (yes folks, we all know their parts are way overpriced) and b) My old headlights were pitted after years of driving in the Northeast. I was PLEASANTLY SURPRISED when I got them. The materials used were OEM quality! The particular lights I got were with Xenon projectors. They are 90% as good as the OEM projectors. The glass that DEPO used is not as good as Hella, but it's so good you will not notice the different in driving (I only noticed because I compared the two against my garage door). How can you complain for $500 (what I paid for mine at the time)? Don't knock the messenger, I'm simply saying don't say these are crap just yet until someone gets a pair and gives their review. Depending upon the manufacturer they could be a great replacement for our headlights. Rememer OEM BMW ones are $900 a side if you have Xenons. Chris

By the way, I've run ZomkSpeed's LED taillights on my X5 for a year now as well and no problems at all, they have been great. We get our fair share of crappy weather in the Northeast, and they have performed extremely well.
I say someone give these a shot if you are local to their warehouse and see what you think. Hopefully they have a set available for Xenon models. If anyone wants to see the quality of their lights, I'm in CT and you can stop by and see them for yourself. I am VERY picky about getting a factory/OEM appearance and not putting junk on my cars. The parts I received (manufactured by DEPO) were of good quality. I don't know who is making the Z4 housings. Chris

I emailed the Ebay seller asking about the fitment and better pictures of the lights.
The seller just responded to me: unfortunately these are the only pictures i have available for this item,i have requested more pictures from my supplier but he said we can only post one picture for a single item...so i apologize for this matter...We've sold over 15 this past month with no issues reported, As long as you have the proper year and model we are listing, this item should function well/fit right in...After market product design to fit proper year/model and to give decent performance....please make sure you see fitment section below the auction picture,if your year/model is NOT listed...most likely it will not fit..Any other concern on this item please feel free to call in at626)934-8001 M-F from 9:30 am to 5:00pm pacific..Thank you. Best Regards, Saul _________________________ Damn lights look cool and great price.. I'm not use to seeing anything BMW related so cheap..

Depo is more or less an established manufacturer. I had them on my 332ti yeeears ago. Someone give these a try already, I'm sure if theres a small seal/leak problem, its an easy fix

If they ever make a Xenon housing, it would be a bit more expensive with the auto leveling motors and what not...
