I think the AIBs are the brightest but I may be biased.

These AIBs were installed in Jan 2008 or just two weeks ago.

AiB V3.0 has been argued to be the brightest based on visual appearance to the naked eye. umnitza's Predator ICE V2.1 is brightest on paper based on output measured against the wall.

Personally I think it's all subjective and they are both about as bright as they are gonna get at this point. They will never be as bright as the LCI halos.

AiB's have a bluer hue to them. If price is a concern, go with Predator ICE.

I was looking into this as well. Is one easier to instal than the other? What about the fogs?

I did mine without taking out the headlight unit, which isn't necessary. You do need to remove the radiator cover which has about 10 or 11 torx screws on it...easy to remove. There is a learning curve to the process, but once you get the first one done, the 2nd is a snap. Do a search on "Angel Eyes Install" and you will some excellent DIY's on this. And the fogs install is a real snap!

This one was the one I used from JRV550i for the angel eyes.

Hey Lev thanks for the input. I checked out the link and it looks like it should be fairly easy. Do you have the ICE or the iBright?
