are these new rings totally? I know everyone has been going on about changing the bulbs to brighten the factory angel eyes, but im not happy with the result as i hav'nt got factory xenons so i can't get the LED marker bulbs. Can i get these bright angels for my car if i don't have xenons? These look awesome.

Sorry, not yet, been so busy with other BS. Also with the snow around, our other car can't drive anywhere, only my car can, so can't take apart the headlights yet. Hopefully starting the project Sunday.
Yes, you can get this for your headlight. Only problem is, you have to take apart the headlight to install the, which is a pain in the ass. Doable and time consuming, but well worth it. I'm going to document the process and hopefully everything will go smoothly.

The Orion v2's are much brighter than Pingu's white bulbs, albeit more expensive. There's the obvious task of getting it installed of course.

yeah, i must have missed your thread. I did'nt even know these were available. Im so glad you can get these. Im just not happy with the brightness of pingu's bulbs. Where can i get these from and how much? I've searched everywhere from the uk and could'nt find much. Everyone i've contacted have just said the same thing...get brighter bulbs. So where can i get these from then n how much? also have you got these on ur car? i want to see a pic of how bright these look fitted on the car? thanks

Look at my thread here: https://5series.net/forums/topic/901...1#entry1066763
They are pretty expensive, but literally the best money can buy for our cars. I bought them when they were $250, came out to be $280 tax and shipped.
The only thing is that they are not simply plug and play, and require you to open up your housing.
You can get them from umnitza.com
