Those ones that have 'KS' in raised lettering at the bottom of the headlight housing are good so I've heard. I dunno, depends all on the look that you want. The chrome ones are nasty IMO.

I have those. I had a halo burn out on me and had it replaced. I took it to a BMW dealership and they done it. They replace them on their cars so I figured they could do it with mine so I took it in. Works great now

ThraxXx has a set, he seems to like them. They're only about a month old so far, so I don't think he can give you a longevity report on them. I do know he bought them off eBay, so they might be the same as yours.
I'll get him to check this thread.

to replace my halo led it cost me $110 at a BMW dealership. I think that is fairly good.

I got those bad boys on my 4 door sedan. I love them. They are bright, the halo's turn heads and well...they came with a cover so the projectors are protected from rocks and such that will come flying at your car. The only way you will burn out the halo is if you have a surging powersystem that is constantly dropping below 12V and then spiking back up above the 12V line. LED's will only burnout if they recieve over-current for over 3 seconds. The halos they use in these are real cheap I must say...its basically a plastic rod that was heated, wraped around a jar and then they used a dremel and put knotches in it. After that they drilled and wedged 2 LED's in it one on each side and ran them with a resistor so lower the voltage from 12V to 5V.
I built my own halos before just for fun...found a website to teach you how to do it and its actually pretty easy.
anywho, as for the headlights, I say they are great. The only downside I have is the bulbs they come with are bloody cheap. I blew one highbeam and a lowbeam within the first month of having them on. I recently replaced them with Silverstars and haven't had a problem yet. These things use H1 for highbeam and H3 for lowbeam.
