Decided to get the rdash ae instead of the mtecs b/c I can't use them for DRL's. Of course, the moment after I installed them, I knew I should've gotten the mtecs. I'm more than pleased with the color, but the brightness isn't there. I know the lenses are mostly to blame and at the time I couldn't justify spending $100 more for the mtecs. Installation took about an hour once I figured everything out.

So here are the pics for my pre-lci Angel eyes upgrade:

Sorry to say they aren't very bright. All of the pics of pre-lci angel eyes exaggerate their brightness. The LCI angel eyes are a different story. It's a worthwhile upgrade, just don't expect to match the lci brightness.
Thanks

I don't think those mtec's would be noticeably brighter than what you got.
Btw your color is a bit blueish, is it just the photo.
