superH, a lot (if not all) of the aftermarket angel eyes are difficult to see in daylight. even the OEM (pre-LCI) aren't that bright in the daylight. Nothing in the market right now for angeleyes upgrade (pre-LCI) come close to what current OEM LCI DRL angeleyes can do.

Hey oc...Did you take yours when it was already starting to get a little dark, say during late afternoon (after 3pm)? I can't see shiet on mine during daylight (12 noon). I guess this is the best it can get for our E60's at this point...I will take pics at night and post shots if I can. I guess all those other super bright shots were taken in pitch black areas with overexposure.

the ones above were taken a half hour ago, but the others were in the garage.
And yes, the cameras will play mind games on how they look

I do have to say my mechanic did a SWEET install. He drilled a small hole on each side of the panel and mounted the heat sinks on each side. Looks CLEAN. Very good job, but just disappointed in the light output, but I guess that's no one's fault, but the technology just isn't there yet. He also was able to hook them up so that they light up when the 'unlock' button is pressed on the remote + DRL function. I'll wait until tonight and see if the results are any better in regards to the light output, but I doubt it will be 'really' bright.
Looking at these lights from a distance (head-on) in my mechanics bay where it's dimly lit (no sunlight), they aren't bright and 'pop' out at you. It looks like the same output as the stock bulbs, just a different color. I'm guessing this is how it should be.

I'm almost 100% sure a BMW dealer will not do this install due to the risk they'll probably feel is involved. I had my independent BMW mechanic do the install without any instructions (and he's never installed Angel Eyes before in his life). He did a super clean job and I'll take pics of how he mounted the heat sinks, pretty cool the way he did it. But nevertheless, I keep mentioning this over and over, but I'm disappointed in the light output of these things, but I guess this how they are. Dammit BMW, bless us with the technology of the E92's!
I'm not sure if he got any good pics, but either way, I can take them again anyways. The basic install is a freakin' breeze, you obviously have to take out your headlights to remove the bulbs and do this. But as for the unlock function + DRL, I will ask him again for pics or instructions.
I will try and get a video up of the lights coming on when I press the 'unlock' button. Pretty cool feature if only the halos were brighter.
