This picture comparison is all subjective. You're wasting your breath trying to compare apples to oranges. We just have to wait for people to receive their ICE V2 shipment and then do a comparison with rj.

On a side note...guys, I'm no foto pro but am a keen amatuer > this type of fotos need the camera to be on a stand (or faster shutter speed= SHARP) and the focus just slightly off from the angel ring. You need 2 types of foto 1. dead ahead, 2. at a slight angle just off dead straight.
Taking pics on a camera phone or something for this type of comparison like seen on some other "comparison fotos" (from other threads) makes me wanna laugh, sorry.

the first foto has definate blur (camera shake) making the rings look bigger (and adding brightness) the 3rd foto is better taken and sharp and in fact looks pretty similar in brightness output to the ICE. when I get mine, if it is still needed I will make some more pics as well !

For me I couldn't care less if one is slightly more brighter than the other, they're a feature to have on our car but they're just LED's at the end of the day.
For not having the current "yellow" dim angelights; price and features of the new ones are the most important aspects to me in this whole excercise -

Yes, no problem for the Xenix got your PMs.

Andy545 = DEAD ON with his commentary.

I know everyone is hanging on every picture and word, but again, and for the last time now that pictures are posted, gimme a break. RJ - you have never actually seen our product in your car. You are very happy with yours - congrats - but what you got isn't anything different than what has been given to other customers with other versions.

Good luck in general. No hard feelings. But I do thank you for proving 99% of my points for me with those pictures.

Sorry, forgot one little aside, I took that E60 picture in broad daylight with normal 0.0 exposure with a sunny day in the back ground, using a tripod.

I suggest anyone else trying to capture it, do the same.
