Default Best aftermarket product for lci halogen AE's (excluding orions)

hello, i hope this topic hasn't been beaten to death but i've gotta ask what is my best option for a lci halogen angel eye for a 6k look.
i do not want to do orions on this set of headlights right now but rather just do a aftermarket install.
i was looking at e92 lightings dtec or possibly umnitza's, umnitza ice..
thoughts?
*is there a color changing w/ remote option avaiable?

i remember seeing the color changing option somewhere on these forums, but I'm pretty sure they were the Orion brand.

I bought the Weisslicht LED angel eye bulbs from BavAuto and have been pretty happy with them, although I'm sure you could find some cheaper ones somewhere else.

I picked up some Philips diamond vision 5000k from HID Concept for $45 and they are great. They are not LED giving off that in your face white, but they get the job done if you want a subtle white angel eye.

Install was like 15 minutes. Link is:

Skrelnik, HID are a bad (horrible actually) idea for H8 based kits. They will yellow the fiber optics badly over a very short period of time.

What's the difference between this product and the previous? Can more info be found on the website yet? I took a quick look and haven't seen anything quite yet.
