Options for replacing factory HID headlights

Hi there. I have a 2011 135i with HID headlights and I was wondering if there any affordable aftermarket plug-n-play options to replace them. I am hoping for ones with the euro or smoked look, rather than the US spec orange corners. There are Depo ones available that look nice but I think they only work as HID upgrade to cars with halogens.

I am aware of the OSS Design ones (which look awesome) but I'm not looking for spend $1200+ on headlights.


Thanks for any help.

There isn't really a cheap option.

I bought OEM Euros for a little under $1k new, LCI units were a bit more. Used sets can be found cheaper on European ebay and other sites, though.

That looks awesome.

Does anyone know if the OSS Design process would fix a leaky (condensation) headlight? I assume they have to open the light to install the angel eyes so they should seal it properly. Thoughts?

I know the halogens don't have fancy angel eyes, but I think they look better on our cars, especially the LCI ones. They don't make the car look like it's on something!
