Headlight upgrade help me decide which to go with?

Have a 2003 coupe. Want to upgrade to projectors (2006)

You guys prefer OEM 2006 projectors or these I found off of ebay?

The ebay ones being cheaper as well in price

the only upgrade you listed there are the 06 OEM Projectors.

All the rest are downgrades.

Everyones gonna say the 06+ ones cause everyone here thinks ebay is the enemy.

Id say go for the ebay ones just cause its different and they look pretty sick imo.

If a vendor produced that headlight everyone would be on it, but since its ebay, its a POS.

No. It's because they represent a foothold of the ricer community in g35 land. The cheaper these cars get to own, the more ricey they get.

vendors here sell them, people still don't like them. at least do your research before you talk.

Headlights

Yeah I do like OEM look, just thought it would be different to have the ebay lights with the side bulbs(like an Audi) and the halo lights (BMW) you guys thing it is too much? Looks cheap or cool?

Thanks for the input guys and gals

Just want to replace my headlights since I have noticed some cracks in the housing so its time to replace them....

I have seen the "ebay" head lights in person and thought they looked eeh ok, the halos weren't all that bright as i thought they would be but its your car, do with it as you wish, just not my cup of tea.

I couldn't be happier with my oem projectors. Never seen the eBay ones in person, but I don't think the price difference is big enough not to get guaranteed good quality lights.
