I like the design of those houses in Norway ! I know this is a 5 forum, but I noticed the building design look really good, precast concrete with timber cladding. Much better than using standard house-bricks - which are basically 'mud-huts', or pure timber frames.

I used GP Thunders, which were like $20. Mainly colour change achieved, not much brighter. LED's are way brighter and the way to go for the current model look.

Search for Lux V3 and you'll find their website with DIY guides. They're one of the most expensive out there, but have the best reviews AFAIK, and are the brightest. Lots of reviews on them on E90post.

do you have any easy to see photos or links of the brighter ring lamps?

BMS LED Angel Eyes and GP Thunders moved down to the fogs. Easy DIY, cost effective and nice results IMHO.

Not sure what you mean. The pic I posted earlier was from a thread on the Lux V3 install, vs. OEM, so that's one you can use as a gauge. Otherwise, if you go to their site, you can see lots more pics:

Or google it, and you'll see posts of people comparing OEM vs. Lux, or other brands, in case you want to spend less $.

Nice
