I communicated w/ Dave via AIM and he was very helpful to all my questions. They are base out in Boston, MA, he mentioned that they might be at Bimmerfest in April One more thing, Dave mentioned that if I send in the original BMW reflectors, I can get a $25 credit.

D*mn you! hahaha j/k That was fast.

Did you email them with any questions prior to ordering? I asked him about the ballasts and he said it's inline with the unit so it's just plug-and-play. I was also wondering about the general technology behind it. I might just follow suit and order a set too.

here's a post from Dave from X5world...

Also, any other manufacturer will simply throw a "resistor" onto the light so that it pulls the right amount of electricity. This is a dangerous way to do it.

With our ballasts, the light output will always be constant, during the whole cycle from on to off(turning the engine on in the cheaper product will cause it to surge).

Also, we offer a $25 core charge, when you send in your old reflectors.

The brex white ring seems to be a universal fit and I was told there is only one available for all bmws. The list is around $260 or 26,000 yen. I put them on but it wasn't that bright. The rings are white but the original ones were brighter. Maybe I got a defective one but was kinda disappointed by them. I'll probably try the piaa 6500k led ring marker next and I think the price is around the same too.
