Also, Pics at night would be SWEET! :D

Well I "checked around the house" and found out that I am getting a digital camera for new years, so I will post mine up after that. Right now my camera bites the big toe.

BWard, the two kits that I got where from HIDFoglight.com. The 50W kit was a plug-n-play for my F250. My other kit is a standard 35W it came with the same parts but I had to modify the bulb holder on my car. As I hear it this is a problem with all BMWs so I don't think it was the kit. I have to say that the kit included a drill bit for the job, which was very nice to see.

The 35W kits I got in like 2 days I live in New York. The 50W took about 2 weeks. I would say I give them 9.5 / 10, and only reduce 0.5 point for the 2 week delay... which they did tell me up front about.

50Watt Kit from the Same place?

That is what I like to hear, EASY :D :open

Yeah hidfoglight.com. The F250 kit was about 20 minutes of work(excluding time for my own mistakes). The other kit for my beamer was about 40-50 minutes, I had to drill a hole in my bulb holder, which is normal for these cars.

I was under the impression that HID bulbs required a projector type headlight and couldn't just be puting into a halogen bulb reflector housing....?

with any halogen housing, which you *can* just stick an HID bulb in there, but any OEM HID headlight uses a projector housing to achieve the proper beam pattern. Otherwise you're blasting 6000K light into everyone's eyes because you have the wrong reflector, no?
