Looking at buying new Angel Eyes and i cannot seem to be able to decide between Mtech V2's and AngeliBright's, which would you recommend? Are the AngeliBrights significantly brighter for double the price of V2's? Thanks!

Do u have pre-lci? If so, the mtec v2.1 are the brightest and nicer looking in my opinion. if u have lci, contact member John@motorworks he will be able to help you out.

I have heard the iBrights 3 are a little brighter, however, that slightness probably does not justify twice the cost.

Can I use the harness from EAS to make my AE's turn on when unlocking the car with the Mtec V2s?

Which year is your car? I might be able to code it for you without the need of other hardware.

Edit: nevermind, I see in your profile you have 2005. What harness from EAS are you referring to? I can actually just manually wire it for you as well.

Neither.

I recommend the ICE Lite - it's brighter than the Mtech V2.1 and the IBright.

Here you go:

One of our customers recently did a comparison, the Mtech 2.1 was not as bright.
It's on Bimmerfest
