Its 26 degrees outside and I went out to do this video. By the time I finished the second video, I saw two of my neighbours leave their trash outside come upto me and ask me "WTF is this man, how did you do it it looks AWESOME". They went crazy over the eyebrow and the red angel eye. The super puddle is eyecatching too.

These are the original BMW rings, remember I told you I installed the orion on top of the small ring.
So when I lock\unlock my car the OEM BMW small ring is lit (red color)
When I drive in the morning the Orion V2's are lit

When I drive at night both are lit. The red is not so much seen but if you look at it and notice the red border it looks CRAZY COOL !

Not the best picture but just to give you an idea of how angelic evil it looks when driving

The Red rings cant be seen in my camera but are surely noticeable in reality. Its that fine red border around that Orion V2 that makes it look like a real eye.
Like its an angel but when an eye that has a red border.

Check out another video I did, doesnt say much.
By the way I didnt have my headlight turned on at all, was driving on the Orion V2's my Eyebrows and the Fogs.

And let me add -- Notice that in the eyebrow light you can see my shirt and basicly Me walking past the car

You can also notice how DARK white the eyebrows are and how well defined they are unlike the OEM's

Very cool. For one of the member that I installed the colored Orions for, his is somewhat similar. Except that the white outlines the red (when he switches the AE to red)



I like that puddle light, very nice and bright. Too bad I don't have that on my side mirrors

Also, notice how a bit of the red is showing at the top of the headlight? Fokker, after we installed his HID AE, he decided to fix that by placing electrical tape over that area so it does not light through.

HID AE's are brighter. The look is very different between the two. Also, Orions are not cheaper. It's $250 before shipping, and unless you install it yourself, it's more for installation.

Yeah but LCI headlights (if you don't already have them) are even more expensive
