Ahhh, fair enough. Good point.

Orion V2 or V4 are full circle LED rings that replace the rings you have and render your existing fiber optic units inside the headlights obsolete.

Mtech, ICE VXX, and the bevy of cheaper quality ebay products relay on simply replacing the original lighting element but do not replace the rings, fiber optics, or wiring - simply the light source.

Only the Orion V2 and V4 will offer significant day time visibility.

Yes the V4's are very visible during the day. I just had mine installed last week and posted a pic with them on and in direct sunlight.

Addyp: sounds like you have halogen headlights. If you are determined to get nice bright angel eyes, Orions are the only way to go.

You won't find any T10 bulbs worthy, period.

Agreed on the T10, though our radiance bulbs are insanely bright
