I was searching around bored last night, looking for stuff to spruce up the IS when I found this conversion kit. Tell me what you guys think?

and then this is the nicer looking color, but more expensive:

The first one is like $72 shipped from Ebay, probably a Taiwanese knockoff, while the second one is $175 shipped from a vendor on the IS300 forums that also posts up on Ebay.
What do you guys think? It would require taking the headlights apart, but I've done this 3 times before on my car and a few others. I guess what I'm concerned about is taking them apart again if one of the rings goes out. They're supposed to have a 50,000 hour life, but who knows how long they last with all of that direct heat exposure from the HIDs.
I think they look REALLY good though, but I do have a touch of rice in me. What do you guys think if I was to get them, cheapo version or more expensive + warranty?
Here's the site for the expensive ones. The company who sells them doesn't have the best Ebay trader rating btw:

BMW, you queer. I've never seen a nice conversion. EVVAR. Also, a friend of mine did it to his civic. One of the angel eyes burned out then it was promptly stolen at Hoffman Center. Yes, I said that right. His head lights. They cut his bumper cover and stole them. They also stole his radio too.

True, but that was a civic. When do they not get stuff stolen off of them.

whatever you do don't get ebay knockoffs. angel eyes are popular with audi's and i have never ever heard a good story in the long run come from anyone who bought cheap ebay knocks.
they either leak, fall apart, or fall apart while leaking.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
I'll allow you to get these but you have to turbo the car first. :lol:
