Will the remote feature work with the ICE lite? Also is there a way to use them as the drl's?

Any comparison on E60? I think to a lot of us it means little when we see the application on another model.

There is a thread on the board to how to wire it as DRL.

Being that the OP's car is Pre-lci, I'm surprised no one has asked if it has factory xenons. If it has halogens, this thread whole thread is pointless.

If its brighter on one car chances are good it will be brighter on all. However I think another customer on here also did a compare bit can't find the thread.

Also, going brighter from 3 watt leds to 5 watt or 8 watt only causes you to draw more and more current.

To be safe, I used a relay

Using a relay has its own advantages and disadvantages
1. Minimal load on car's existing wireing (advantage)
1. No Fade Off effect (Disadvantage)

Good points TRB.

However, I want to point out this information. I can't remember where I found this documentation, but as I understand, the circuit that powers the welcome lights are capable of handling up to 100w; I am sure it'll be fine.
