Then the fog lamps?

Thanks
Since you have halogens contact John@Motorcepts and he has them for the non xenon head lights. I would start with the ae's then low beam HID's which he has as well

Take a look, we are about to introduce the latest ICE VXX product next week, brighter than ever before and much better quality.

I would start with the Putco LED product line that is made in the USA for interior and some exterior LED applications. That is the best made. But Putco stays far away from Angel Eyes knowing the pitfalls of trying to make a super-bright LED light that doesn't cost a fortune.

For Angel Eyes, heat plays a big part in longevity. Most of these Angel Eye products are lasting up to 3 years if you've bought an MTEC line of products.

Why? Because LEDs like it cool, whereas Xenon/Halogens like it Hot. Most of the heatsink designs on Angel Eye products are a pathetic joke. MTEC comes the closest to having a "decent" heatsink design, but even theirs, is inadequate for a long life product. MTEC will get you up to 3 years. The others; up to 1.5 years if you're lucky.

I've posted before on the OEM BMW LED heatsinks, which are MASSIVE, as they should be if you realistically want the product to last longer than 1 - 3 years.

Heat kills LED's, and there are not many options that adequately address that issue. I would guess that 95+% of all Angel Eye products are coming out of China, and you have one Chinese company copying another for a quick dollar.

MTEC = China as well. On a pre-LCI, I would go with their V2.1/V3 heatsink design over the others. It is better made, more robust, but not even close to the BMW/German design.

I noticed on your website 20W led angel eyes are available for 2010 E60. Are these plug and play as well?
thanks

our new ICE VXX is available. It's a true LED setup, not the claimed 20W/30W parts that have poor drivers.

take a look here:
