About $500-900 is the going price for Retrofits... With $500 being rather cheap, sometimes good. But $700 being a quality-made kit. And $900 is for custom lights/insignia in the headlight.

these are my headlights, been running them for 2yrs now, by far the best combo/ llight output out there, better then the E60s ur talkin about.
checkout theretrofitsource for parts or hidplanet.
my setup is
TL slope projectors
ZKW clear lenses ( from bmw 3series)
Philips 4300k, 81522+ ( they dont color fade)
hella Gen 3 OEM ballast ( potted water proof)
E55 bezel from Benz
custom wire harness
flux (spell?) LEDS
as stated, you get what you pay for

couldnt tell ya. ask blown06ss he was explaining it to me. I think it could be the clear lenses instead of fresnel or whatever. Prolly a better cutoff. idc about all that i just need lights that work mine a so weird i just cant get ahold of what the issue is.
Is there any way to like use bolts on the back to move the stock reflector cause mine need to aim up a few degrees?I dont think i saw anything though

As for the difference, they look exactly the same except I think the E60's have a different bulb retainer on the back side. Atleast thats all i can see whats different.
Thanks glen install them yet? any questions just pm me
