i bought some angel eyes off of ebay for about $70 last year and they are not bright at all, especially compared to the new 5 series which have bright (but yellow) angel eyes.
does anyone now what brand will really make them stick out?
thanks for the help

Sorry man, they are all the same. from $70 to $300, they are all the same brightness. =(

One thing is, did you fully plug in the angel eyes in the port correctly? sometimes it might not be screwed in correctly so it might seem dim. But honestly, only solution to make it super bright is Luis's Angel eye conversion ($900) dollars. And the 2008 headlights are different angel eyes from us and use an H8 bulb. This enables more possibilities than our limited 2004-2007 low/dim angel eyes. =(

+1 what niqxdoof said. Our cars use 3W bulb and 2008 and newer LCI cars use 6W H8 bulbs.
