Hello,

I am newbie here! I need an expert's help with my Angel Eyes on my 05 545i. I have stock AE that are yellow and not very bright. One of them went out last weekend and I am thinking to replace both of them to get a brighter look. I have searched entire forum and couldn't find how to upgrade AE to bright yellow not white. I was wondering if I buy AE from newer E60's and install them on my 05 545i will they make the output brighter?

Please help! Want original yellow AE but bright one's like you see on 09 E60s

Thanks!

any daytime pics of them? It would be really nice if someone could come up with something as bright as the orion's without having to hack apart the headlights.

MTEC V2.0 and MTEC V2.1 is exactly the same except the heatsink is all aluminum now. I've BEEN selling the MTEC V2.1. All my MTEC V2.0 I have been selling for the past I forgot ARE MTEC V2.1. Better heatsink means it will last longer.

So no difference in light output then. why can't someone make something thats as bright as the orion's without having to hack apart the headlight unit?
