Looking to buy the depo v2 headlights for my e90

Has anyone had any problems with these on a uk spec BMW 320d?

Hoping to install 6000k hid kit with them

Any response would be appreciated

I've heard good and bad. I did a google search on these and there are loads of threads on this and other forums, worth a read.

I never went that route in the end as its an expensive gamble. Your best bet is going the tried and trusted route and going for LCI halogens and uprating the rings. They are plug and play and will deffo get you the results your after old chap.

BUT if you go the LCI route, just get better bulbs and don't bung a HID kit in, as they are not projector type, and HID's in reflector housings are dangerous and shit.

Same here, I has researched back and forward on these on forums, come to the conclusion that the angel eye rings are simply stunning but the beam projection from the projectors are awful, and I do not want to have to retrofit fit projectors and constantly have errors up on the dash with this

Yup, as mentioned. The beam pattern from the projectors is woeful in comparison with proper xenons or even halogen projectors.
