    The ol “CHECK SIDE LIGHTS” is in effect (new angel eye bulbs just didn’t make it to the top of the priority list before), so I’ll be ordering those, which are now on clearance for $50. If I am ambitious enough I’ll post a pic when I get them in.

    Just ordered the ICE. Will see if they are brighter than the bmwleds I've got in there now. (Site no longer resolves, may be out of business)

    If you want your angel eyes seen from space, these may not be for you. I like them a lot. They are on clearance here:

    Left side is stock halogen, for comparison

    It occurred to me that you can use these as an emergency flashlight under the hood if you're ever in a bind. Wires are pretty long.

    You original bulbs look brighter. LED technology is notoriously over stated and over priced. How many amps does each bulb actually draw?

    All of the LED Angel Eye bulbs don't give anywhere near the same amount of brightness or blue wanted like those LED Rings.

    Overpriced, yes, but a new LED two-strip fixture in my kitchen delivers WAY brighter output than the old four fluorescent tubes did. LEDs are simply more efficient.

    The pricier ones get close, but any bulb is going to have a diffuse glow vs a direct light.

    I just installed the YITAMOTOR 2x 7w Spot Angle Eye LED Halo Ring White Lights for BMW US E39 from Amazon. Direct fit, seem to be very good quality and a re definitely brighter and whiter than stock. Time will tell.

    I installed the same ones a few months ago as I posted. Watch out cause yesterday one went out on me cause the wire loosened up out of the bulb somehow.
