We will have a step by step photos for those who are not local on how to do it. Maybe I can have them do it this weekend to my car just to show those who are not local to get an install.

It looks like **********s only carries the black version of the Depo projectors. What about the "grey" version that matches the look of the OE halogen and HID lights? Also, it looks like the minimum Kelvin rating of their HID offerings is 6000k; what about something closer to OE, which is in the 4200k-4300k range? Finally, looking on their site, it looks like they already offer a HID and LED AE retrofit, no??

Sorry missed this question at the bottom. Yes, it will be complete plug and play. So for those who don't live in California to get them installed, all you have to do is unplug your stock halogens, and then replace them with the converted ones. And that's all you will need to do!

I don't believe **********s offers the LED Angel upgrade. They do, however, offer the HID upgrade for the basic lights. If you don't want 6000k rating which runs "white" the stock DEPO's do run at a stock halogen color. Im sure that Sam could get you an upgraded LED that has the lower temp.
I believe these are the photos of the stock lighting that comes with the DEPO's without any upgrade. You might want to consider upgrading to the 4300k temp at 35W for a much brighter Halogen color look. Correct me if I am wrong as I am new to light terms |

Well as of now only the black depo ones. But anything is possible if you wanted to have it repainted lol. Yes please ask more questions as it will help us cater to the customer's wants.

I have seen those before as I looked into them before we started my conversion. However we are trying to be as cost effective as possible, so we will be sticking with the black ones. However if you wanted to purchase those and send them our way for the upgrades, feel free to do so.

I believe that some of the people on this forum (including myself) have never performed a bumper procedure on a 1er. We probably would need a step by step guide to locations of screws and what not in order to wedge out the lights [not take off bumper completely]. I believe they come stock like the color in my post with pictures. You could always upgrade to more wattage to get a brighter OE look. Question on the lights though Sam. The entire conversion would include high/low beam HID + angel HID rings? And you said that you absolutely need a group buy of 10 in order to get the ball rolling? Or could you do a couple if 10 people do not sign up? |

I think there may be some confusion here. The Kelvin ratings I was talking about are in reference to the color of the HID low beams, not the AEs. I would want a HID Kelvin rating similar to OEM; i.e., in the 4200K-4300K range. As Sam mentioned above, I'm definitely looking for a very OE-type appearance to the lights and the Kelvin rating of the HIDs will affect that. If I could somehow justify the cost of adding the OE HIDs to my car, I would do it in a heartbeat. Heck, I've done it on several cars, but for a far more reasonable cost than what it would take to do the same on the 1er. And, then you have to have the car coded too, further complicating it!
