As for intallation, we do apologize but the headlight removal should be documented on the next E60 we get into the shop, we've been so busy not to get you guys upset to ship your stuff out on time, we've been slow on getting install instructions and hoping other sources can help fill in the blanks.
installed only one side due to time but i would be willing to work something out with you if you want to get my E60 into the shop for install instructions/documentation on your website.

Just received and installed. Bright clear white
Car now at night look crisper, sharper, somehow fresh, newer

The picture (by mobile phone) is a lot over-exposed, but the color is identical!!

Question,

Was there any space (about 1/2 inch) between the end of the LED unit, and the beginning of the angel eye? I did my install last weeekend, all went smooth, they just don't seem that bright. I hope my question makes sense.

Yes, there is about 10 mm space between the led and the fibers and yes, it's not that bright, its about the same bright as stock or maybe a little brighter, but the huge difference is the pure white color. PIAA is like small hanging oil-lamp with blue/whitish hue, compaired to ICE

Is it as bright as AngeliBright or brighter? Anyone done that comparison yet? I'm very curious on that.

You could ask Umnitza and he could send some pictures to you. Or just search for pictures posted on the forum between AngeliBright and Predator ice.

Had the predator ice installed 2 day and it looks fantastic. Due to physical/health limitations, I took the car to Peoria BMW to do the install. They said they tried to call the company for detailed instructions and removed part of the bumper cover? Total cost to swallow.....$280.00 Gasp!!!!!!!!!

I didn't do it by myself either and had a local car tuner shop installed them for me. I think it was only $40.
