Newbie from the Caribbean seeking help with headlights

Gentlemen, I'm finally able to join this forum as an e90 owner and I'm very proud of it.

I recently purchased a used 2006 320i and I'm interested in upgrading stock halogen headlights without angels (see photo below) to preferrably LCI halogens with angels. White/white.

My car pretty much looks exactly like this and I'd like an entire headlight assembly.



I have friends in miami, so I can get them shipped there then skyboxed to me. I've used the search button and the options seem to be very limited. Whenever I come across a link to order from, the item is usually out of stock or on backorder eg:

http://www.bavarianx.com/DEPO_BMW_Pr...led.ae.pro.htm

Any ideas gentlemen? Would greatly appreciate your help!

You can order the LCI halogens from Tischer BMW (dealership in the USA), and they're plug and play. You can also order some whiter colored bulbs if you would like, and LED angel eyes to complete the look.

Those wont be OEM headlights. They are aftermarket ones.Very crappy projectors. If you don't need xenon then hit krnet2dboi up.

Apparently I can't private message you as yet.

As to the OEM headlights from BMW, won't they be really costly?

False, it will be closer to $700 through Tischer. Contact them here if you want to go new, or hit up the guy selling if you don't mind used. I'm just presenting a fair alternative.
