Default Angel Eyes...

Ok, so which product is the current favorite for pre-LCI angel eye replacement bulbs to give a bright white light that can be seen in the daytime?

Yes, I did a search and there seems to be a TON of "well, I got these off of Ebay and they were weak" results so I was really hoping someone had a good solid answer.

BTW, I have a 2005 545i. Thanks!!!!

I think the MTEC v3's are rated as one of the best solutions available for Pre-LCI. As for day time brightness, although they look brighter than the OEM Solution, they are not all that visible. If you want to see them in daylight, the best solution would be to go with the Orion V4's. These are pricy and require opening the headlights for installation. I have attached a pic of the MTEC v3's. Not the best pics! They look great at night though.

We are offering our VXX for $50 off. it's the best bang for the buck.

THE CODE WAS DISABLED< it's been reenabled.
The Mtec V3 and the VXX are made in the same factory, using the same CREE bulbs.

And if you don't want drop in, and want to do something incredible:

Thumbs up Angel Eyes IJDM Toy Pre LCI

Hey I know you're looking for super bright angel eyes, so am I. However until I can find some ibrights or M-tech used for about $65 bucks I went with IJDM TOY AE's. I bought these on sale along with some LED license plate bulbs. All error free and I must say they're awesome for the price....Here are some pictures. FYI WTB used Mtec or Ibright Angel eyes for 2004 E6O...

Based on replies, you do not have pre lci halogens? aka the worst e60 headlight ever made.
post some pics with whatever decision you go with
