E60 LCI angel eyes
So I just purchased a 2009 535 and i want to invest in angel eyes. I want to know which one will give me the best results for ex. Visible in the day and super bright at night it's gotta have a very slight tint of blue to it. Some people are saying mtec others lux and umnitaza. Any suggestions guys?

I have Mtec, which are good if you want just a bulb to LED replacement (yellow to white). Sure others are good too, but if you need more, you need to look into Orion...full AE replacement rings for an e60. Look close to or as good as F10 AEs from what i have seen. Cost a bunch Im sure... Use the search on this forum for AEs and you will find a wealth of info.

I have the Umnitza ones which look great to me... I've recently developed a problem where one goes out though. Swapped a resistor and it wasn't it... they said they sell out a lot, and don't have one in stock or parts yet. I hope to get a hold of one in a week or so because it's driving me insane. It's a heat issue, so after a long commute home it blinks off for about 20/30 seconds.. then comes on for a few more minutes, and then goes off... so annoying when I'm stuck in traffic trying to get home. I may just swap back to a stock bulb but it'll look too weird.. ugh!

Rice Rocket - sorry about that. Yes, the "DTEC" which we sell as ICETEC are the brightest plug and play on the market.
here's how it breaks down:
ICE LITE - ok quality, ok output about $99
ICE VXX - good quality, ok output, same as Weisslicht (identical) and on special for $99
DTEC/ICETEC 90W - good quality, but faulty resistors, second best output, available on special order only at $149.
DTEC/ICETEC 128W - good quality, fewer faulty resistors, best plug and play output available, runs from $160-199 depending on warranty period requested.
And of course our Orion V2, V4 brand lines that are the brightest on the market but require opening the headlights.

I sent an email out July 14th (5 days ago) checking in on the status of the replacement parts. Although 2 of those days would be Sat/Sunday I am slowly going crazy with the blinging error messages. Can you help me out here?
