Sorry these are not the best. Its dusk and I litterly just snapped these pics. But out of theextensive research I did in upgrading my angel eyes (after oneburned out) I decided to go with Trinity. I cant imagine gettingbetter customer service anywhereelseand they are very responsive and helpful. I will DEFINATELY do more business with them.

You need to do more research on THIS board about angel eyes.
That picture you posted, those are inaccurate representation of the actual product and what you will see in real life.
You want the good stuff? Gotta pay to play:

Agreed. I don't think the OP is going to get the look he wants on a pre-LCI without upgrading the headlights or opening them up and having the Orion's put in.

My Ride: 08 528i TiAg Premium/Cold Weather Pkg, 20% Tint, Technic Harness, JL Audio 12W7, JL HD 750/1 and LOTS of lighting mods!!!!!
A. Throw LED bulbs in there and be semi-happy for 2 months
B. Get your headlights cut open by Simon and install Orions (This option is best if you're going for a "modified" look for your car and don't want to spend a fortune to get bright white AE's)
C. Retrofit LCI Bi-Xenons and install HID AE's (With this option beware, you will be blinding others that are sensitive to light, but it looks great in the day and at night...this is also the most expensive option but you get stock-looking headlights)
In the end I think its worth picking option B or C especially when you see the reflection of your AE everytime you pull up to a window
Also...spend the 60 bucks and get a HID kit for those fogs...DDM sells ones for this price. I like the 55W personally but most people have 35W. 6000K is the magic color for me...
Good Luck!!!

HIDs in the foglights! I got projector foglights and wired a set of HIDs to them, these definitely transmit a good amount of lighting up front.
