No difference. Same light output.

The design on the rings are bad in the pre-LCI E60. Therefore, light doesnt travel as nice. The e39 surprisingly looks brighter.

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!
You can retrofit the LCI headlights from an '09 if you want..better get your pocket book ready though as the headlights, wiring, LCM and labor are going to be expensive! I would go with the Mtecs they really look good compared to OEM and are pretty cheap! They're not so great in sunlight, but as brabus put it, its the design of the rings.

Hey guys, we are offering a V3 ICE to forum members for $149.99 shipped.
Just put FREE SHIPPING in the comments area.
V3 are a fraction brighter than Mtech V1 and brighter than the V2.0 (have not seen the 2.1, but you can only do so much using the same exact CREE Led anyways).

Hello everyone,

here are some lighting mods I've done on the car yesterday. Mtech v2 angel eyes, hid fog lights, led turn signals, led trunk lighting. I will be adding some euro freshness this weekend
Next: Ordered M5 tech kit from umnitza today, will put it on sometime next week, RPI exhaust and scoops.
Thanks to John (brabus209sw) for the lighting and akalius for the euro look vinyl.
