Think these will be good? Do i need to find projection lights or..... and would this even fit my 08? I was going to ask dangeris to make me a set but i dont have the cash flow yet (work hasn't started)

Those won't fit the '08s, they don't have projectors. You would need a full retrofit with dual projectors. It's possible to DIY, but very time consuming and you would need to source a spare set of headlights while you retrofit yours.

Yup halos look really s*** without projectors

I have the anzo HIDs with halos and they look fantastic. I got them from protuning lab and they come as a whole headlight. So you literally just replace the factory headlights with entirely new ones. Here's how they look.

Those are just the regular ebay ones. I heard the quality isn't that great, but it's definitely the easy route.

Do it right the first time. The projector quality in the optics used on the ebay lights as well as the anzo are sub par. I'm sure alex will chime in and say no they are not but I've been doing projector retrofits on our specific cars for awhile now and trust me when I say it's sub par. If you're looking for looks then go with the cheap stuff... If you're looking for looks, quality, and performance then go with a full retrofit. You'll be glad you did.

just put those in my car this weekend it sucked. it was a lot of work i went with the color change ones

IMO, halos should stay on BMW's. It looks tacky to me when it dosen't come from the factory.
