Gestapo--yes you will need those, better shrouds because those wont cover much, headlights , a wiring harness and an HID kit. Then you have to aim the projectors in the reflector housings. Its actually pretty straight forward but takes time and some finesse.
Maupin-- the pnp retrofit kit isnt to bad and should be pretty easy to install. it just looks a little plain and io would worry about it moving around because of the way you install it.

what projectors are the easiest to mount in the stock holes without cutting are those the easiest. I think im going to get those and try bc anything is better than what if got i could retrofit a f$^%^&# shake and go flash light in and it would be brighter than mine

as for any retrofit your gonna have to cut into the reflector housing to get it to fit. But i dont think you have to with 3bspec's kit.
Thanks glen just let me know if you have any questions or concerns when installing them.

Haz l33t wheelz.
They're BMW shrouds, i can't remember which kind, sorry.
Everything, harness, bulbs, ignitors, ballasts etc. That's why they're so expensive. Just plug and play to the stock system.

Yep, they're so worth it though.
I want to change mine out to a stock housing because the Anzio's fit like straight up ass.
Check out the huge gap between the bumper and the part of the light where it starts to curve up towards the fender...

they fit haha, just not perfect. I'm gonna be honest if you're paying that much.
Because of the black, you really cannot tell unless you're right up next to the car, or know what to look for at certain angles.
