I bought In.pro BMW ellipsoid, halo's from NOPI. They were $379 shipped and then you also need to buy bulbs. I had a custom body shop install them for $190. The reason why the installation was sooooo hight was that the In.pro lights are a little bit wider and a little bit longer than the stock BMW. The guy that installed them had to shave part of my grille just to get them to fit and also had to take out more of my radior support. I spent almost $650 on this and i would do it again. I get a lot of complements on the lights. If you did the installation yourself you could save a lot of money.

That would probably depend on the bulbs you use. The bulbs I have in mine show up VERY good in rain, snow, and night. My only complaint at this time is that my halo's show up for crap (something I intend on correcting when spring breaks).

I dont have pics yet but when I get pics i will definatly post them. I'm not sure how the normal BMW headlights will affect your visibility, but the projectors put off a lot more light than the stock max lights. My brights are a soooooo much brighter than the stock max lights. My halos show up all the way around the light. Ive seen some max's with the halos that dont light up all the way around and mine are bright all the way around.
