Okay so I went out and snapped a few pics......you guys be the judge.....and Dr. Lev you are right you really can see squat with these during the day. I know that during the day they are not going to be that bright, but at dusk when you can drive with just your halo's now thats when they should stand out not at night when you have drive with you lights on...
Bright or not bright???? Am I just expecting too much from these things?

I actually think those are pretty bright. Angel eyes arent meant to be a replacement for headlights especially when its dark. I had umnitzas in my last car that really stood out from a distance but know they didnt light up anything on the road really, just for mostly looks.

I have AIB V3.0 bright at night/dusk, day time...not so much. I am completely happy with them though, they are much brighter than anything else out there. 
You can't compare them to LCI angel eyes as they are completely different and much brighter than we can hope to have on pre-LCI E60's.

I like them too. I have the AIB v3's and your picture doesn't show much of a difference. I was expecting a little too much when I got my AIB's so I was a little disappointed in the begining too...I'm pretty happy with them now though

I felt the same way after I installed my set. I wasn't impressed at all, even at night.
It wasn't worth the money and bloody knuckles.

I agree, I was not impressed with the brightness, but I ain't going back in there again. All I wanted was for them to be white and not the PEM amber and I got that out of them, but they are not bright.Um, Tyson, I hate to say I told you so....

I'm sure you can unload it on eBay if you decide to get rid of them.

DON'T BUY ANY PREDATOR V2 LIGHTS FROM ANY PRIVATE PARTY SELLERS FOR A WHILE!
