To start, yes I want to go cheap. They are going on my 2007 530i w/ Xenon

Anyone ever use these or have any direct input on these Ebay ones.

Thanks for the input.

wtf

dont bother. You'll get a brighter result from a glow in the dark pen outlining the angel eyes.

I got some 'medium range' ebay ones at $90 delivered and they are rubbish.

I have since ordered MTEC V3, which from what I read have a good reputation for being bright.

Dont waste your money.

Alternatively you can buy my ebay angel eyes.. they are.. umm awesome ahha

Thanks for the reply!

Yea, I'm definitely uneasy about buying something that is worlds of difference in price.

How do they get away with those side by side pictures next to Mtec's that make them look really bright!?

wtf

the pic in that ad is NOT an E60 - the E60 seems to have terrible conductivity of the light through to the angel eyes. On my old 7 Series E65, the cheapo LED angel eyes worked great. The E60 seems to be a letdown though.

I expect the "snout" on the leds is too short and doesnt put the light into the ring properly.

I second not purchasing those ones. If you want one of the brightest alternatives for pre-LCI I would go with MTEC V3.

Go straight to the best you can afford and cut all the middle ground. I"ve tried so many ebay bulbs, even with LCI AE 35W + etc...gonna put a smile on ya for couple of weeks. Get the best, thats it.

Dont bother. You will buy another set of those in 5-6 months. Speaking from experience. I went with mtec and still running

Mtec V3 get my vote. John@motorcepts has just released a nice set up check it out!
