Hey Guys,
So I installed the new angelibright white eyes this afternoon. Let me tell you honestly, they were a bitch to install. You have to remove the headlights and that is not easy, especially when you're so careful and don't want to damage anything. You could try to install the light without removing the headlights. I fiddled with that for perhaps 30 minutes and gave up, its nearly impossible unless your hand is the size of a 5 year olds to fit in that small area.
So anyway, they're GREAT! Not too bright like I had feared. It's basically the same as the regular angel eyes except white instead of yellow.
Here's some pics:
Comparison, left angelibright, right stock:
Both white eyes on:
Everything on, including PIAA fogs, finally everything matches, nice and WHITE!
Here's probably the most accurate shot of the eyes:

nice.
the only thing is that it kinds of melts (blends) in with the main xenon headlight so the unique BMW "O" ring light effect is almost gone....
like on the 3rd pic from top.....
but very nice while the xenons are off.....

I think that the pic looks like it all blends in because of the camera and the angle of the picture where it was taken.
