:think: what about WARRANTY by BMW adaptive Xenons were not cheap... :P

These will not void any warranty by BMW. We have been making electrical modifications on BMWs for over 4 years now, so we know what works and what does not. These have gone through a year of testing to make sure they will work 100% in all climates and conditions.

Also, I never said "most e60.net" members bought it, I said "many", and that is true.

They will post their reviews when they receive the Angel iBright later this week!

Dave

for $250 we can install brighter ones for you guys!!!!!!!!! check the pics and compare the light output! Also we can tint the orange reflector as well! let us know who's intrested in, www.lightwurkz.net 415-517-7866

I wonder if the install can be done within a day? I realized you're located at San Francisco, and i'm sure many of us (bay area members) would be interested with your product. :thumbsup:

Those are my lights hehe we'll post pics at a later time

Guys, please keep this thread on topic for this product (AngeliBright).

If you want to talk about the Umnitza/lightwurkz.net product, please create another thread.

I feel this is a unique situation, since this is the first time such angel eye upgrades are coming to the US market fo E60, so let's not confuse things just yet. ;)

For all vendors, I believe it would be helpful to many folks, including myself, to explain how exactly the product works. For example, patents aside, specifications like:

- light source (LED?)
- light source type (LED chemical composition? E.g. GaN + YAG:Ce phosphor?)
- light output (mcd, lumens?)
- light wavelength (nm?)
- light color temperature (K?)

would be extremely helpful, and are inherent product characteristics that are important and should not be hidden. Any OEM information on the light source would be extremely helpful.

Thankyou das.

The CCFL/Umnitza rings product is for a completly different application. That person actually cut open the outer lense with a dremmel(or other electrical saw) and then glued the rings in there.

Since CustomAngelEyes.com has been doing Angel Eye headlights for over 4 years, we know what is involved with this process.

Obviously most people do not want to cut open their expensive headlights, never mind deal with the consequences of improper re-sealing(which is very difficult when opening the headlights in this fashion, even if condensation does not appear immediatly, it will later on). Also, they have to be wired seperatly with relays etc.

Ours is a simple plug and play, that leaves everything appearing like OEM, untill they are on. Be your own judge.

I think it's important to note the differences here:

The AngeliBright solution uses the OEM socket and doesn't require taking the headlights apart. It's simply a new lamp assembly that replaces the existing angel eye lamp assembly and can be done by the end-customer.

The umnitza solution typically requires baking or cutting open the headlight assembly, then installing additional rings and components for the lighting, but is *very* bright. So-bright-it's-very-visible-in-the-daytime bright. But, it's also much more invasive.

CustomAngelEyes, do you have any specifications or additional information about the light source (or minimally, the OEM information) here?

I, too, am a little concerned about the pricepoint for a product in this class. The PIAA and Brex solutions (Japan-only) are under US$200. Then again, they're Japan-only. ;)

By the way: the halogen E60 has a very different setup for angel eyes. It uses a total of 4 W5W mini-wedge-base lamps on light stalks, 2 per side. Because of this, the lights are also very easily (and cheaply) replaced with brighter and whiter bulbs.

A method that consists of more labor and more time costs less than something that is a do-it-yourself "plug and play"??? Sounds backwards.

I realize the materials are different between the two methods, but the difference in price is too much to ignore.

Hmmm.... :think:

Personally, I rather not cut into anything on my E60. I prefer the Plug-n-Play method of the AngeliBright solution and an extra $100 'investment' is a reasonable amount I'm willing to spend for a quality product that won't void my BMW warranty. :)
