For a more affordable upgrade, I recommend the standard LED angel eye upgrade. I don't see the reason to spend more than $200 on upgrading the color.

this has got to be the most cryptic thread ever... can't we just have a list of available products with prices and then everyone will chime in on their experiences with them?! Like, I have Racing Dash AEs - they friggin' suck, I got 'em used for $45 shipped, so its not the end of the world, but I do want smth brighter. WILL NEVER EVEN THINK ABOUT SPENDING 700 ON AEs THOUGH! Not unless I hit the mega or smth

We have Mtec for $75 <-- reasonable, decent, better than RDash.
Rdash - $45-50 - not that great
Mycarr/Predator ICE - $99 shipped <--- better than mtech

Orion V2 based custom job by OSS <-- Luis - very expensive work and best and brightest angel eyes on the market.

Give us a call if you need assistance.

That price is due to the amount of labor involved in the retrofit. Takes about 3 days for E60s. E9x takes about full day with less labor required. And believe it or not, we've had customers in the past travel to Luis just for the install. The end result speaks for itself.

If someone's looking for something nice and affordable I would recommend the MTEC LED angel eye upgrade: $75 w/ free shipping

Is the consensus that Mtech or Mycarr/Predator Ice Halos are better/brighter?

I know you are waiting for the good ones. The one we got as a sample stunk. So we went back to the drawing board

The Predator ICE was $149 5W.
Now, we are in the midst of changing it out so the mycarr ones are still going to be brighter than the mtec (and they do not throw codes).

Let me know, we have bunches in stock.

Hello,

I have a '06 US model M5 and the DRL is activated, which one should I order from your site? Will the angel eyes come on automatically like the DRLs and then stay on when the headlights come on?

Thanks
