What do u guys think of this with the options I selected... I feel like this is the brightest medium quality lights I can get right now? I live in an area with very little light and my eyes are not what they used to be so I need the brightest without burning out the housing.

Angel eyes are just little bonus, for that price it seems reasonable.

If you have a much better option for the similar price point and brightness elsewhere, please LMK

Whoa that's pretty pricey! The sedans can access the inside of the headlights pretty easy. If you don't mind a little bit of work, I believe there are brackets that adapt Morimoto Bi-LED projectors to e46 headlight housings. Which stock headlight do you have? Wondering if it's just burnt projector bowls.

I am pretty sure i have xenon the way the lights slowly come on and the look...

It's weird such high quality lights from Mori don't fit into xenon SMH, always something but it seems they are the brightest and the best?

I heard about burnt bowels but didn't know how complicated that was to test and then if just replacing the bulbs would end up near as bright as the Mori

I think the easiest way to tell if you have burnt projector bowls is by the projector lenses. If your lenses have the line through the center, you probably do NOT have burnt bowls as they are made by AL. If you have clear smooth lenses, then you have the ZKW projectors which are prone to burnt bowls (Prone is an understatement...)

As for the MLED, I don't believe you need the halogen headlights. There should be brackets to mount the MLED to Bi-xenon housing. Check out these 2 links. I haven't personally done it myself yet (on my to do list) so I can't verify anything.
