Headlight Upgrade? (2015 BMW X3 35i)

So I’ve been snooping around, looking for headlights for my car but the only ones I could find were the ones attached to this post.

I like them because the housing is black instead of chrome and the light cover is tinted in general, it just overall matched my cars color more.

One thing I can’t get over is the blue lights at the top. It bothers me and In my opinion is the only flaw in these lights. Are there any other options? A way to get rid of them (if someone owns them)

And side note, does anyone know if alibabas a good website to be shopping for parts on??

Are they really an upgrade, I mean how good is the light output in real world use?

Ive seen these on video it seems to have an amazing light output and a cut off line. Too bad they only work with X3/X4’s with factory Xenons.

Can you share some of these videos with the "amazing light output and a cut off line"?

They probably are an upgrade for F25s with Halogens, which are pretty bad. When I was looking at used F25s, I drove a few with Halogens and had to get out and make sure they were functioning properly, they were that bad, BMW should be ashamed putting such poor lighting on such an expensive vehicle...
After that, I ruled out any models without Bi-Xenons...

Go on YouTube and search BMW X25 X3 headlights you’ll see a few videos. They only work with X3’s with factory xenons not halogens unfortunately. Unless you retrofit the wiring from the xenons. Same goes for the upgraded G series tail lights for the F25. They only are meant for the non halogen. I have them and the running lights do not light up only the brake light, the signals and reverse light.
