Genesis ICE is a plug-n-play LED replacement for your angel eyes. Orion v2 requires cutting open your headlight and placing the Orion rings on top of the stock corona rings.

a quick search will get you a few pics..but I'm sure umnitza (a vendor that carries both products) has pics on their website, have you not checked their yet? if not, I would suggest it as a good place to start..


the orion v2 rings are the brightest and most uniform AE replacement out IMO, but also the hardest for most along with most expensive (if you are paying for someone else to install) and time consuming to install

Yes, The Orions are a excellent mod.

The pre-LCI AE comparison I'd like to see is the MTEC 3.0 vs Ice VXX.

Orions aren't supposed to lay over the stock rings...

We don't recommend the Genesis any more.
We recommend the ICE VXX for H8 for plug and play. It's brighter and better.
Orion V2 requires you to cut your lights open.

A customer already installed VXX when he had the Mtech 3.0 and he said the ICE VXX was brighter. It was on this forum.

High beam it overlays.

LED, and H8 is the bulb size/type. will only fit if your car is LCI xenon.

Well, if we want to be technical, that's actually the cornering light and flash to pass. It is only that way on LCI xenons. On pre-LCI halogen, xenon, and LCI halogen, the rings are all replaced.
