Well my brother-n-law had my 172's installed this weekend for me. I won't be able to post pics till I get home. Since, I'm stuck in this god forsaken Middle East for another 4 more days. Aug 1st I put my car in the body shop to install my M-Tech kit I got from NeRwEEzy(Trinity). Thanks NeRwEEzy for all the help.

Hey stevenbeboo,

What kind of angel eyes do you have. I have a 2005 525i and I recently changed out the bulbs with a set of 5watt led bulbs from ebay but they are not bright in the daylight. They look good at night but that is not what I wanted. Can you tell me what kind you have and where did you get them? I want them as bright as the new 3 and 5 series. Thanks.

Then you should be looking at the Orion V2 from Umnitza

Stevenbeboo's car is LCI. He got HID Angel eyes installed. For pre-LCI, you'd have to either do the LCI conversion or the Orion V2 mod. For Orion V2, you have to cut your headlight to install the angel eyes.

So far the brightest for pre-LCI are the Mtec V3.

John@Motorcepts sells the Mtec V3

No, for Orions you actually cut the headlight open. Then either replace, or put on top of, the current rings a ring of LEDs. Do a search for Orions in this section and you should find plenty of results.
