just stuck these in my 06 530i, couldn't have been easier. removing the head light unit was a breeze. they look great especially at night, very defined white light instead of the standard washy yellow.

Nice. I like them, especially against the titanium. Where did you get them?

Already wish they were brighter. There are some E9x's around my parts with some wicked bright angels that stand out in daytime.

Looks good!

Side note: did you put those vinyl stickers that cover up the orange reflector on the inside of the headlight?

Haha, that's why I love my Orions. Yesterday I saw a driver in the new 5 or 7, (I really still can't tell by it going by) with the white AE staring at my AE when he drove by. I thought it was cute, LOL.

Me too. I have the MTEC 2.1 as well. That second picture actually looks like it's turned off. I will it was a tad bluer so that it will show up more in the daytime.

Love the look of the Orions, however, I can't get myself to cutting my headlights open.

I also have these and am not impressed. I should have left stock on and saved the cash by the way. Is there a way to always have the angels eyes without turning a switch or having day lights on, on a. O7 530 xi
