Has any of you guys came across any?
Here's some photos of my car:

S66VEN, you certainly like to keep your car clean, and I love the wing mirrors! What's going on with the fog light surrounds?

There are plenty of angel eye options for your headlight but none of them are DRL. People simply don't produce anything bright enough for it. You can spend £30, all the way up to £130 from some German ebayer and still the difference was very minimal. I'll copy and paste over a message to your inbox about more information on them...

Unless you really want the DRL option with similar brightness then u can go for umnitza orions which will cost about £200 and an arm and a leg to split open the headlight. Have a look at my thread that i posted couple of months back about this project to have some idea and to avoid shocks

As Calic stated, you can go with Orions which are bright but you'll have to have the headlights opened. But us E60 members will get no where near the light output of current F-series iterations due to poor light distribution design or our headlights. Just get some good LED AE's from Mtech or Lux, which are the best and call it a day. I have MTech and I like them although I'll try Lux when I need to replace.


Great looking ride btw

The brightest on the market is the DTEC (now we call it ICETEC for legality reasons) 128W unit for drop and plug and play.

Umnitza: Will those LED´s be dimmable when you put the switch in parking lights? I want LED with two different brightness as the original halogen. Is that something you have in your store?

Perfect. Look forward to answer. If you find out, do you have matching LED bulbs for fog lights also?
