angel eyes ?? quick question

does anyone know if when you buy the angel eyes as seen in link

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BMW-E46-3-SERI...item5d248490c8

it doesnt say anything about motors or if they work with electronic adjustment on there so can you take your motors off the original headlights and what not and swop them over to the angel eye ones ?

Hi Matt,

I would highly advise against those headlights. It has been discussed here before but the quality and looks of the 1 piece headlights leave a lot to be desired. You are best off with a set of DEPO Projector46s like what we offer.

I agree with Nick@Jlevi SW . Get the Depot 2piece. its construction is similar in quality to the factory lights. If you are looking online the easly way to tell 2 piece from a 1 piece is that the with a 2 piece the side marker light is a separate piece from the actual head light. These are much better quality and don't fog up as bad. Also they go with the car very well, some of the one piece lights look like they belong on a rice tuner from the far east.

No you cannot. You need to purchase aftermarket headlights with the motors built in.

If you are only looking for angel eyes you don't need to buy the whole headlight. There are no motors associated with angel eyes.
