Default Black euro headlights with halo

Does anyone have experience with this headlight or simular headlights?
Can you use the factory light bulb with this set up?

TIA

It most likely uses the same bulb. However I would defiantly change it to a HID thoug.

Does this require any other hardware other than the bulbs?

They look great on BMW's and other Euro cars, but not on a truck IMO.

I don't even think they look that great on BMW's anymore. The look is played out, IMO. At least the factory ones have an excuse... but aftermarket?

Yea, you have a point. As soon as those Jap "fast and furious" rice burners started applying them to their cars, it ruined the appeal to BMW equipped cars.

Now folks want to go and put them on trucks....is there anything "manly" about a truck anymore? Next, it will be giant wings on the back.....

Wait, I've seen that too.

I have them. I like them. They are not a true projector though. Right behind the lense is open so the light reflects of the chrome surround. Light output is pretty good and Im using 6000k HID's.

Does that ring of light actually project any light or is just for looks?

mainly for looks. When they come on at night when I hit my alarm the make the front a little brighter, but nothing to drive with. Mainly just for looks. You cant really see them when the heads are on. But I really like the look of the whole setup. The HALO I can go either way with.
