new headlights

http://www.bmwpartswheels.com/bmw-he...ights-633.html

so i just bought these headlights for my e90 but i'm wondering if i will be able to put in my stock halogen bulbs and have it work or would i need to go buy a HID conversion kit before installing?

your going to be disappointed in them, everyone that has bought them doesnt like them and has found their quality to be bad.

I've been tempted by these things but there seems to be an overwhelming opinion that they're just not worth it.

Those are not HID lights and should work with your halogen bulbs. unless for some reason they use non-oem bulbs.

Fixed. Problem is, everything else will be crappier than the OEM headlight.

Contact Jeff or Damon. Damon (s/n dsc201knoc) is a vendor on this message board and he should be able to get you an OEM xenon conversion kit.
