Well, technically it does because Luis uses the Orion V2. Umnitza...when did you increase the brightness?

AS of now I have the PIAA led ring bulb. But during the day they are hardly visible.

These LED are much brighter.

"Luis's LED Angel eye retrofit, Just pulled the trigger!!!"

Luis did the mod using our Orion V2.

Increased it on April 15th, with batches starting April 29th forward getting the 14% brightness increase all across our range of Orion V2 products.

Hello everyone and glad you guys like the work!

First off a big thanks to Kyle for taking the guinea pig dip and Let me have a go at it.

Today is the day I receive Kyles set. As you all know this is a prototype to see if I can get inside. Once Im in the rest is a done deal. Only thing up in the air as of right now, are the possible marring on the black plastic around the headlight seam, due to the silicone BMW decided to use on your headlights. This is the speed bump at the moment and the compromise in question.

Im going to study them today and see the plan of attack. I have an idea though to make it as pretty as humanly possible.

Im exited to see if this can happen as the headlight design is perfect for the retrofit.

Let the madness begin.. BOOYyaaaa..lol

Thanks for the update Luis!! Take some pics of it apart. I like to see that damn headlight taken apart! I've been waiting to see that forever.

LOL.


I had one question. Some members here did a modification to change out their LED Eyebrow (myself included) and we sealed it using melted glue and silcone.

Will that melt / mess up in your process of removal of the headlight? The eyebrow portion is seperate from the rest of the headlight so it wont interfere on normal headlights, but since we did this mod, the headlight is far from normal.


If anything, maybe you can reseal my eyebrow thing with the cured silicone u're going to use? Let me know!

Sure I'll take a pic

And Ill take a look at it and give you a ring so we can chit chat about the eyebrow thing, but I'm sure it's a separate door or compartment on the black headlight housing correct?

Headlights should be here in the early afternoon, talk to you later
