With so many out there 1) Umnitza 2) Angelibright 3) JLevi 4) random ones members sell here on board... etc, how do you know whats the brightest and best???
I'm looking for pre-LCI 06-07, which I heard can NEVER be as bright as the LCI 08-09. Is that true? I wish I could see side by side pics to really tell.
I that is the case, why pay more for better ones (subjective anyways) when they will never be as bright as LCI models?

Angelibright v3 has been proved to be brightest of all.
Yes, Pre-LCI will never be as bright as LCI 09/08 since they redesigned the headlights, w/ Angeleyes as DayTimeRunning lights. So since angeleyes are DRLs now, they need to be much brighter.

so does it justify paying close to $300 for pre-LCI angel eyes, when u can find some no name brands for cheaper, since they will never be as bright anyways?
Anyone have pics they can post of LCI vs pre-LCI?

I thought we already talked about this?
Get the AIB's v3 they are the best, brightest and the highest quality and well worth the extra $$$.
During the day PRE LCI will never be as bright as LCI. Night is a different story, in my opinion PRE LCI with AIB's looks much better than LCI.

anyone try Umnitza or Jlevis?
I have seen beemers (mainly e46 and some e39) that have REALLY bright angel eyes during the day. Not sure what they are running, or if it is just not possible on the 06-07 E60s?

I've been trying to see also if my current angel eyes, elitemotorsport, is really a big difference going up to angelbrights. Does it justify the cost
