They look great das! Thanks for sharing the pics.

Freed0m, I should get mine today or tomorrow hopefully. If you're not installing them yourself, do you want to meet up at CarLab on Tuesday to get them done?

It is hard to capture a Daytime photo that looks good, but I did my best

To answer your question above, the AE's are visible during the daytime, but it not like they are going to be as bright as your headlights or Fogs. However, once Dusk/Dawn comes (which is really what they are intended for), there is no doubt they stand way apart from the OEM Crowd. The coloring and Brightness is really nice.

Hope that helps.

Just did my E63 a few minutes ago. No need to remove the headlights (I wouldn't want to even try). Access is much easier if you snap off the small sqaure cover over the high beams (it snaps right back on)

You'll need to gently tug on the wires to get a little room to work. If you take your time on the E63, it should take you 15 minutes max.

No. During daylight they're not much different than the stock lamps.

But, as Chi-Town Racing noted, once twilight hits - and especially in the dark - they *definitely* stand out. They're vividly white and definitely catch your attention.
