Hey guys, I have a 97 528i that I am looking to replace the headlights due to light oxidation.

Where do you recommend I can pick up some nice replacements? I would maybe consider getting a set with angel eyes and maybe a projector style lamp. I know some have mentione DEPO but I would like some feedback on the quality and where to purchase.

Thanks in advance.

Can you be more specific regarding what kind of damage are you referring to? If the lens is damaged, I might suggest reading the following thread from the DIY subforum for our vehicles;

This should provide the information you may need to simply repair your headlamps and install the celis rings in your pre-facelift lamps.

No damage, just oxidation.
I wanted to change to a clear side as I don't care to much for the amber marker. I had seen somewhere that someone sold the headlights with clear sides and angel eyes. I want an OEM color angel eye not the nasty looking blue ones I see from time to time. Also, the kits I have seen are projector style lamps, I currently have the basic Halogen setup.
