New Headlights; Angel Eye, LED

Hey guys, so I ordered these from CARiD dot Com. They came out pretty good, real easy to install. I've been changing all my bulbs, lights, floods, fogs, everything over to either Blue or White. These are the headlights.
-I had the stock HiD lights, but got hit with a tire on the highway, so decided, since the tire went straight through one of my lights, that it was about time to go LED
-The only bad thing I can say about the headlights, is (and yes they were only about $315 so i can't complain) the angel eye is pretty dim in the daylight. It's not nearly as sexy as a BMW or Lexus Halo Light. This light functions with only 2 LED's, as opposed to the usual 4+. BUT, the LED's around the side in the half circle are 'really' nice.
-I'll post up pictures soon of the rest of the stuff i'm doing. I'm going to make a thread with all my mods. I've got the CAI, Full resin box I poured as a rear seat delete that has my two 8inch subs in, all my blue bulb wear, and my White underglow.
-Sorry pic's aren't crazy great, taken with cell

What year is your car? Did you have the HID's from before 2005 or the projector HID's from 2005 on?

Wondering because I currently have my 2006 HID's wanted to see if these will fit

I have an 05 R53. It was the stock version of the HiD assemblies from 05, so, instead of selling the igniters and ballasts on eBay, if you'd like to purchase the two of them, let me know. I'm thinking they'll fit the 06 lights, but i'm not sure... I also still have the Drivers Side entire light assembly that still works and is in good shape too.
For anyone who's looking, I also have the drivers side light fluid ejector as well. Goes for $80 on ebay for anyone who's looking for a used one.
