Yes. I got the black backed ones. The halos aren’t very bright.....not very visible in daylight.

Thanks, looks really nice. Is the wiring up easy enough?

The halos and a little led in between them needs wiring up. I just wired the halos as I didn’t like the look of the additional LED. I soldered the halos to the sidelights and have programmed my sidelights as DLRs. The connections aren’t the best quality, I had a few issues with dipped beam not working and light on dash showing. I ended up taking the connector apart and reseating all the pins. The pins are held into the connector by glue. They have been issue free since then though.

On the angel eyes is one of the lights already fitted for DLR or is that something you would have to program in

Thatbs the first photo of those lights where i haven't felt the need to be sick. They seem to suit black z4's really well :thumbsup: maybe it's because they have black innards instead of the ghastly chrome?

The black inners definitely look better than the chrome ones.

Some of us have done our own halos which I would recommend over buying those. There are plenty of tutorials on here if you don't mind getting your hands dirty. And you can get a much better effect with brighter halo's in daylight.

Here's mine:
