Simon, Do you think the ICE VXX is brighter than the Orion V2?

Orion V2 is 3X brighter than ICE VXX. It doesn't matter which car it's on. There is no comparison. Since we make both we're uniquely qualified to answer this question.

I'll second that. Just installed the ice vxx.
Huge disappointment. just look for something else.
I really hate it when these sites take pictures of their products and
then use photoshop or something to enhance their images.

jeez

To be honest, it's most likely that it wasn't edited in any way. It's really just how light is captured by cameras (because really, that is what the camera is capturing anyway, light). So in pictures, AEs will always appear brighter than it really is in person. Which is why Orions are so hard to capture on camera correctly because they are awesomely bright.

Not one of the pictures is edited or changed. In fact, if you look at our photos, they even show HID fogs in the photo so give you a relative difference of light output so that we can be 1000% accurate in our portrayal of the output.

Right, thank you.

Ehh... Matt or whoever posted that, I think it's best to clarify before pitch forks are brought in here. In the above picture, it is of the Orions and I am pretty sure the LUX brand angel eyes.

I don't believe we have ever seen or had pictures of variety of plug and play bulbs installed to surely say that ICE is equal or better. Vendors themselves may or may not know, but for the consumers that need visual facts, I don't think the picture tells very much. Not only that, they're both under shadows.
