...get them while they're hot!!!!! haha 
Yeah I guess maybe I was expecting too much from these things, Id imagine that the angel brights are not that much better when there's any kind of light out. They do look good in pictures and in parking lots at night, but other then that this was a mod that I could have done without, I am not even sure if I want to put that on my signature.....
Thanks for the input fellas, I guess ill just keep them in, lesson learned. I wonder if LCI headlights would work on a non-LCI car...
Next MOD?

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 didn't take this pic, lifted it from another post, so it may not exactly like yours, but you get the idea of the setting.

looks bright to me...we have done side by side comparisons on this forum, and the AngelIBrights are a bit brighter, but its not worth all the extra money for it, I think its over $100 difference between the two......I'm not just saying it cuz I am selling some sets of the Predator Ice Angel Eyes V2.

IceyTys, I gotta agree with you on this one. I put them in yesterday and I wasn't impressed. I thought they would be brighter than my stock angel eyes, but they were about the same, just whiter. AND, the fog lights I paid an extra $40 for kind of match in color but not in brightness. But in the Predators defense, they don't over power my xenons which is what I was going for. This quote by "Imsortofabigdeal" on May 28th in the AIB V3 group buy is not really true either:
"just to let you know, I'm NOT selling Angelibrights V2 for $140..I am selling Predator Ice Angel Eyes V2 which are brighter than Angelibrights V2"
Looking at the pics of how the AIB V2s look and the way mine looked yesterday, there're the same. If I had to do it again, I would probably go with the AIB V3s and some HID Hoen fogs.

Predator Ice Angel Eyes V2 ARE BRIGHTER than AngelIBrights V2, but not as bright as AngelIBrights V3...This is a true statement, I have seen the difference in person. Some people don't feel the need to spend an extra $100+ for the AngelIBrights.
