Looks cool, but if build quallity is anything like their page quallity?  Silver bikes already have matching lights, no need for additional lights for appearance enhancement ;D

Are you sure about that?   I would be surprised if displaying green lights is legal anywhere on a private vehicle while on a public road.  It is dangerous.

An example for NY code:

"41. Colored and flashing lights. The provisions of this subdivision shall govern the affixing and display of lights on vehicles, other than those lights required by law. 1. No light, other than a white light, and no revolving, rotating, flashing, oscillating or constantly moving white light shall be affixed to, or displayed on any vehicle except as prescribed herein."

And they list red lights for rear and yellow for turn signals/hazard.

Anything green is legal in the PNW...  ;)

Hence why I don't live on the east coast...  ;D

You really do worry too much bro, lighten up and have some fun Spock, I'd love to hook you up with a beer bong for the night...  :) :chugbeer:

ZG, legal or not, I have to admit that I don't like this iteration of Angel Eye. I've seen better. Look the previous generation of 5-series and you'll see what the real thing looks like. You can find it too.

This version of the angel eye uses LEDs which create a lot of pinpoint light sources. I don't think that would look good up close. The other version uses some kind of flourescent tube that provides an even glow. I would think that would be the effect that you are going for. Either way I think you would have to open up the light housing to install these.

ZG, sorry but these don't appear to be up to your quality standards. I think you should contact the Ebay seller (360autopart)
and see if the Demon eye projectors they sell can be modified to green. They do sell green ones for other bikes. Then again
if you decide to go red with that third set of body work (just say yes)...they've already got some red Demon eyes projectors just waiting for your money.  :thumbs:
Since Demon eyes are mutually exclusive with projector bulb illumination..well then you wouldn't have to listen to all this legalese talk.  :cool:  ;)

I know there were other threads about the aftermarket projector/hid lamps, but I was just looking for ZG's green lowers, and came across this... green halos are an option.

At least they offer two options that would actually be legal- white and yellow.

There's all kinds of "win" in being able to buy a replacement like this that is ready to go... but not without researching the site and manufacturer to get a better warm and fuzzy. That's still a lot of coin to part with (but seems realistic based on the options available, with HID projectors and halos, and the housing ready to install).
