Not really, it adds to it. The angel eyes for the LCI are definitely brighter. As for the Pre LCI, it compliments it and doesn't over power it either.

Go for it! and post pics! It'll match it perfectly!

looks great! Just completed my eyebrow mod a few days ago thanks to support from member nigxdoof. Looks awsome, but as i dont have xenons i can't get my angel eyes to get any brighter. At the moment my eyebrows are like a super bright white colour and my angels look horrible with the yellow look. I wish i had xenon headlights so i could just get the MTECH LED markers. Need to do something about the angel eyes very soon but don't know what the solution is going to be

Nanoi: I don't have LCI, so this might be a silly question. How come your AE's are not turned on when you have the eyebrows on?

Will the orion v2's fit my headlights as they are not xenon. When i went on the website it says at one part of the page for xenon headlights only then on another part it says fits all halgon and xenon. Do you know anyone who's fitted it to the halagon headlights?

It should not matter if I recall correctly. In order for the eyebrows to be on, he should have it at parking light, which in turn should turn on the AE's as well. I thought I remember this as I have worked on a number of LCI cars already.

Me! I have halogens myself, that's why I went through with the Orion's! The rings on the low beam is not super perfect fit, but it does not really matter very much, as you can't readily tell unless you are up-close. Go dig up my picture thread about it from last year

cool just read your thread now on the orion V2's. Do you think if i've done the whole white eyebrow mod myself already i would be able to open the headlight to fit the orion V2's in? I found the eyebrow mod to be pretty straight forward but i don't know about ripping the headlight appart? Did you use any other tools then a soldering iron?

Johal, get this, This is an alternative. Its an awesome tool.

http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1...atalogId=10053

Though its $99 at home depot, you can get it from harbor freight for half the price. Only thing is, doesn't look as well made / fancy as the Dremel / home depot brand. But definitely an alternative for the mod.

I think I'll drill a hole something like that . I have just change the "puddle lights" under the mirror for brighter leds. I will take a few picture tomorrow.
