Hello guys, so I have a BMW E90 330I 09. I want to get new headlights however dont know if the ebay ones are worth it? Does anyone or has anyone have any idea on this or a link to good headlights. I currently have halogen and want the white light ones.

Will they fit? Are they going to be bright enough and for the money is it worth it?

Few things irk me more than poor quality parts. This is why I tend to steer clear of any non-branded eBay stuff. They look alright, don’t get me wrong, but they’re probably not built very well. They also cost enough that I wouldn’t want to roll the dice (unless seller offered free returns).

As overpriced as they can sometimes be, there are legitimate reasons why OE parts cost what they do.

In this case there probably aren’t too many alternatives. From what I know there isn’t a reputable aftermarket manufacturer that makes replacement lights that look noticeably different than OE.

Is this just an aesthetic thing? If not, I’d suggest looking online or locally at the scrap yard for original parts.

I'm fine with my halogens to be completely honest. They work, and are reliable. You can easily buff out the lens and "rebuild" the light housing if you are having visibility issues. The effort to go Xenon or aftermarket is too much in my opinion. I have seen some quite nice aftermarket ones though.

Those do look quite nice, your paint looks immaculate in the sun. Ceramic coated or just buffed and waxed?

OP is in te UK.

don't they have MOT and some other strict restrictions?
How are they gonna feel about non approved headlamps?

Just something to consider.
