I just had the Orion V4 angel eyes installed this weekend (in time for Bimmerfest East 2012) on my recently acquired E60 550i. I am just starting in the modification process, and this was one of the first modifications completed. I love these Angel Eyes! These lights are awesome in comparison to the E60 OEM and far superior to other competitors out! They are bright in direct sunlight, crisp and extra clean. Previously, I had the Mtech 6W angels installed in my car. The Mtech angels were uneven and diffused throughout the headlight, plus those angels started flickering while driving. There is such a drastic difference between the Orion V4 and the Mtech without question. I took some starter shots of the V4 angels eyes, but I will post more tomorrow when there is direct sunlight. To compare the V2 with the V4, there there are small differences between the two. Up close, the V4s did not have opaque space, but extra LEDs which gives the angels a more uniform/continuous output of light from the ring. Again, I will post more photos in the very near future, but I did want to show the community they are out and they look really good. I was recently at Bimmerfest East 2012 this past weekend in Aberdeen, MD, and many Bimmer enthusiasts recognized the new look and gave great comments!
On the second photo, there is a comparison between my E60 550 with the V4 and a beast of a car the M5 which has the V2. Let me know what you think about the look and some suggestions on future modifications for the car.
FYI, the installer and owner of the M5 (TheRacerBoss)is a BMW guru and master installer. He does great work in the Washington DC area!

Congrats! You're the 2nd v4 E60 as far as I know 
I do believe this is the first time the forum has seen TRB's M5! I think the last time he mentioned his M5, he said Orion was too much work, but looks like he just had to do it to his M5 as well!

OP: Congrats on the v4s! The more pics I see of the v4s, the more I want to upgrade from the v2s.

Here are the photos of the Orion V4s in the daytime natural light. They are really crisp and clean! Due to the recent overcast skies on the East Coast, I really couldn't appreciate the V4s to their fullest until today as shown with in the sun! I think the pictures is the only explanation needed!
As a side note, TheRacerBoss (found in this forum) does great work as you can see in the photos!
