it would help a lot more if you give info about your car. if your have a pre-lci, mtec v2 is it member brabus is selling it. best would be orion v2 but it would involve cutting and opening your headlights. if you have a lci, then hid angel eyes is for you. member brabus is also selling it.

I have the Mtec V2 LED angel eyes and quite happy with them. I will probably leave them as-is unless I decide to bite the bullet someday and have someone do the Orions + brows mod for me. But, that's expensive.

was interested in doing the Orion and brows mod but read somewhere here that one of the person who did it experienced condensation in one of the headlight so I decided to wait and just go with the Mtec V2 from Brabus but still love the brightness of the Orion and that cool white LED brows though.

When I first did the mod, I didn't seal it well and I left the inside lens dirty.

I took it apart and redid it and since then, (since Feb) I haven't had any condensation issue


Also, I saw your post in the "eyebrow" section. That section is actually a seperate compartment from the Angel eye section.

Either way, the sealant process we all now use is very useful / reliable.

Thanks Nigx...I notice that you are the man when it came to modding the headlight. So you were able to reopen it and clean out the dirt inside, then reseal it?

Since I already ordered the light from Brabus, I'm just gonna do the brows mod and put the Eurosticker inside for a factory look. Still the idea of cutting into the headlight is a bit scary though.

Yeah... you're not going to be able to put the Euro sticker inside without cutting it open though.

Obviously the condensation issue is only when it's not sealed properly/entirely.

Seriously, if anyone has done, that person is no longer here. Because he's been banned from this forum.
