Looking forward to the pics.
Wondering if this one below would have been brighter considering it's got 4 instead of unnitza's 2 leds...

I have seen a few on Aliexpress and Ebay, The most one that saw have 12 cree LEDs 60W with projector lense. I am wondering the same if it is that bright.

Pics ^ look awesome .
Those projector ones on Ali baba aren't for the LCI halogen headlights. Eventhough the item description doesn't make clear which e60 headlight variant they are actually meant for, just by looking at their size, it's obvious they are for the prelci Xenons instead of the LCI halogens.

...the problem with the lack of daylight visibility is the make up of the actual rings. They are way too 'lossy' - as in they waste a lot of light. They are very unlike the newer BMWs with the amazing DRL angel eyes where the rings have a 'reflective backing' making them blindingly bright. We can pump any amount of light into our LCI halogen rings BUT they will never allow the daylight 'wow' visibility that we keep aspiring to.

its snowing pretty bad right now, ill take some more snow shots in a bit, maybe it will reflect the light and give a better understanding of how these really look. in the pics above they do look awesome.. like orions, ha!
