I have AIB V3's they're descent at night but in sunlight its hard to see them, I am seriously thinking of sending my headlights to OSS for the retrofit though.

My Ride: 530d M Sport. It has Heads Up Display...need I say more...

I upgraded my AE bulb with an aftermarket white LED type, but wasn't impressed with the fact they weren't very bright at all in the day time (nice at dusk, etc), so just upgarded to the AiB V3 ones. My god what a difference. When I fitted the first one, I turned on the AEs to do a comparison and my neighbour actually thought the one side wasn't working compared to the V3. Definite thumbs up even they are expensive.

How are the AIB's V3 during the day? I have heard that some people feel that even they are dim during the day. Are you happy with them over your stock as far as "day" brightness?

Also, did you change your headlight bulbs so they would match the AIB's whiter color? If not, do they look ok together or does it appear to be mismatched?

For reasonable price, try eBay. Don't spend too much (>$100) on AE. They're all pretty much the same in daylight.

I fully agree with this. I just spent $100 on some MyCarrs and was a bit disappointed. During the day they seem to blend in with light reflecting off of the chrome housing and at night, they seem to blend in with the headlights (since they are a closer color). I actually prefered the look of the yellow angel eyes since they are more prominent (as a result of the different color) and don't get drowned out by the headlights.

Can someone post the picture of the member that has orange angel eyes? I've tried searching around, but can't come up with anything. My assumption is that the orange could match well with the eyebrow, and still be seen slightly during the day.
