No bmw headlights will NOT fit...
you can get halo style lights like mentioned above... IMO they don't look cool at all... The bmw one's do but the civic one's look lame.

 They look incredible on an ACTUAL BMW, but I don't like these imitations in general. Some cars can pull off that look though.

They aren't ass at all. I've had mine for about a year and 3 months with no problems at all. Not even a bulb has blown out. www.autodynamic.com is where I purchased them.
you guys seriously think that  looks like ass? and  looks like ass? |

yes... seriously...
If you like them that's cool and all... but I do think they look like ass. A. The lenses are ugly imo (I only like them when they're projectors with a clear lense. B. The rings of light are too neonie... and cheap looking imo. C. The Chrome looks weaksauce too. D. They're not H.I.D.'s (it does kind of affect apprearance... the hid projector lenses are so evenly and well lite up without glare at all) If you or the dude posting likes them then by all means have fun... but I don't like them and wouldn't recomend them to anyone just my opinion.

HAVE them, they're not ass. Maybe your problem is where you got them, which you previously suggested eBay
 nonovurbiz, that's cool, that's your opinion. Don't know what's "weaksauce" about the chrome.  Also don't know how the rings look cheap, especially since they are exactly what goes in the Beamers. It's your opinion though. I've gotten so many compliments on my headlights that it's unbelievable. |

I think the chrome makes the headlights look too shiny... out of place on the front of an import imo. The rings look cheap cuz the light is that "hyperwhite" instead of a normal led... I think it has a little to do with the lenses too though... I doubt that the one's on ANY aftermarket ones are the "EXACT SAME" ones that go onto bmw lights... I'm sure you get compliments all the time... Most of the things that tend to draw compliments are the one's I like the least... body kits, projectors, wings, etc etc... Oh and where you get them doesn't affect the quality... the brand does.

I kindof like the look of them, from the pics posted above... they don't look cheese-ricey to me, but I probably wouldn't have them on my car.
what lights up the ring? is it a neon tube? JDMb16, I am from Mechanicsville too, wanna help me out with my turbo install? |

They look good imo. But im going with the sleeper stock look and that wouldn’t help out. But if I were going for style originality I would buy a pair.

The rings are just clear plastic... there's either an led or a light bulb in the center... the plastic lights up all the way around... it's the same priciple used for those ignition hole light-rings...
I also figured out I don't like it because it doesn't go with the shape or size of the car.... The civic is all narrowing towards the nose in all directions... where as the bmw is a solid rounded but straight front end... The circles look small on the front of a 5 series but they look giant on the front of a civic... If you swapped the whole bmw 5 series headlight and had a hood that was more the bmw shape made to fit... it would probobly look pretty cool... but with the stock tapered lenses (they narrow vertically towards the center of the car) I think they look out of place.
