If we wait for the competition to come out, prices will definitely drop. $350 for a pair of bulbs is a bit high and also poping out the headlight doesn't sound like an easy plug and play install for those of us w/ xenons.

This is because other companies simply use a light bulb, ours actually has a fiber-optic transitioning system which focuses almost 100% of the light into the fiber optic Angel Eyes, giving the brightest possible Angel Eyes while actually pulling less wattage then OEM(NO one else has this technology).
Also, any other manufacturer will simply throw a "resistor" onto the light so that it pulls the right amount of electricity. This is a dangerous way to do it.
With our ballasts, the light output will always be constant, during the whole cycle from on to off(turning the engine on in the cheaper product will cause it to surge, thus hurting the lifespan and brightness of the light)

The competition(PIAA) is far inferior. We, including a few others have tested the units and know that the light output and color do not even come close to the AngeliBright.
Dave might be right on this. I remember SOARISTO putting a side-by-side comparison between his bulbs and the PIAA Ring Markers and the PIAA paled in comparison.

Yes he is right and the PRICE is still to high, an add on like that should be in the $200.00 range max. At the price he is asking, hes committing sales suicide.IMO

Hey Dave I think most of us are thinking the same thing here. You might sell a few at your price of $350 but if you could sell it at around $200, you could sell a lot more units - especially from the guys on this forum (me included) I don't know what your costs are but $350 is quite high for a small mod like that. Just my 2 cents.
