Has anyone noticed the influx of the various brands and types of angel eyes upgrades lately. Its Crazy !

Man, its almost overwelming. Pre-Lci, LCI, Led, HID...this brand...that brand....How the heck to you keep them all straight... nevermind
which ones are brighter, or last longer or don't give Fm interference or are brighter during the day etc etc etc.

What happened to the good ol days where there were only one or two decent choices....I'm totally suffereing from Angel Eye OVERLOAD !!!! Yikes.

It's not that bad. If I was going for brightness, then I'd consider the following options (depending on your model)

Pre LCI - Mtec v2.1 (less expensive) or Orion V2 (most expensive)
LCI - HID

Your not alone at all. I have a LCI car and don't really care about being the brightest but would like white AE. It would be nice to have a sticky with the various options.
