Stock halogen to halogen projector

I have a 2013 R56 and looking to improve the headlights. I tried the LED projector ones from ECS but even with the cambus adapter couldn't get it to work. SO not looking to just get better halogen light with a projector. Looking at VLAND, Spec-D. Any comparisons or opinion? I like the look of the Spec-D and not thrilled with the cutout for the washer on the VLAND even with the cap. Issues with tapping into the DRL for the LED parts of the light? Also - I have read that the Spec_D Hi beams only flash but do not stay on for the Halo projector ones (not the one I am looking at). Does that happen with this Spec-D one - Projector Chrome V2 LED DRL Headlights - Pair 2LHP-MINI06-V2-TM? Appreciate it. Thanks

I find that most (all?) of these aftermarket lights are so damn ugly. I am just keeping the halogens and not using the car at night for now. I'm thinking about just grafting whatever the current popular morimoto LED projector retrofit is into a set of junkyard halogen housings, but not sure if I'll ever get around to this.

not much response so I guess not the best conversion idea. Will add a diffferent post re LED vs Xenon as ECS has both available..
