There's only a maximum amount of light available to go through the rings.

Right, fiber optics are pretty limiting.

That's why we continue to recommend the ICE LITE H8 system. It's super simple to drop in, no mods, and it looks great.

Waiting for these leds to come 10 Watt 4 SMD Angel Eyes Marker H8 BMW E63,E64,E70,E81,E82,E87,E90,E91,E92,E93 | eBay
I'll be back with some pictures next week. If they are dimmer i would sell them. Basically should have better brightness than the 2 led H8 version. (searching on internet i found some info about the luminous flux which is 750Lm for 4 led version besides 650Lm for 2 led version).

Lol. Give it up guy. There will not be a PNP where it'll meet your expectation.

You're just wasting time and money.

Sigh. You have been around long enough, really should know better. John's comment above is correct, you can only output so much light into the fiber optic. The limitation is clearly physics.

We've sold those same ones for over 1 year!




The ones we have now are a tad tiny bit brighter in person, can't tell on photos. Same price $90 + shipping, except that we offer a warranty - good luck with that on eBay once you leave feedback.

How come that are a bit brighter? Do you have a driver like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/LED-RING-MARKER-DRIVER-INVERTER-10W-CREE-BMW-E39-E87-E60-E63-E64-E65-E66-X5-E53-/271064675087?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM& hash=item3f1cb6b30f ?

I couldn't find a datasheet of that driver. For example, what is the output current(A) of the driver?
XP-G leds accept 1.5A maximum.
