I'm wondering which upgrade for the angel eyes is the closest to the brightness of the LCI rings? How is the LCI so much brighter, do they use a different ring?
Angel bright doesn't seem to be as bright as I want.

I think the LCI ring is the same but probably different bulb.

Yeah I love the LCI lights, it was sunny out and I saw a new 535 pass by me, and the rings were very visible in the day. What mods you got planned RJ?

Guys, no one has actually tried the PIAA LED bulbs for our LCI so no one knows how it is. Someone should invest $300 and install them so that we can all have a verdict. They are hard to find and are mostly sold in Hong Kong. I already had my bad experience with HID angel eyes and from fake AIBs (GP Thunder).

Who's got the ballz???
