Doesn't tell me anything. Line up e60s with Predator ICE and AIBs and then you tell me which is brighter. We have done that here in the Bay Area.

I think you are right Vegas, before i looked at their links i saw your pics and i wondered which were the aibs the first car was brighter then i found out they were AIB, so many claims can be made but the truth of the fact is that aibs are brighter. Then again 300 bucks? vs 200 i guess it boils down to is, is it worth it.

I'm not a fan of AIBs myself. My old v1 are sitting at home in San Diego. What a waste of $300. I'm just going to wait for someone new or try and retrofit the 08 headlight units.

Predator ICE is a good product too. Unlike AIBs, which are plug and play, slicing is involved with the Predator ICE. At first I thought this was a disadvantage until ro11dice pointed this out "Also, with ICE, you have a second set of wires that you can hook up to whatever you wish (tap the mirror puddle lamps so they turn on when you enter your car or connect to a power source and button to power them up w/o your parking lights) I haven't done either though." That is a nice feature to have.

There is a good possibility I'll be posting my AIB v1 over in the Classified in the next two weeks.

I went to Umnitza's today but they cannot fit the predator ICE on my 2008 528. Does anyone know of any other brands that will fit a 2008 car?

Can someone PLEASE explain how to use the blasted multi-quote feature???????


Ok, some "claims" and some facts:

1) Predator ICE = V2 = 5W and high output.
2) Predator ICE = V1 = 3W+ and lower output.
3) ICE V2 = PNP vs ICE V1 = 2 T-taps + DRL functionality

Now onto the pictures:

1) If you don't like your E60 and decide to go to an E63, our product will still work because we provide 2 connectors, not 1.


2) This picture clearly shows the quality of the light output of all 3 major products on the market, with Predator ICE clearly showing a significantly increase in light output:


3) V2 ICE versus "I" competitor in the same headlight (horizontally flipped for ease of visibility)

4) V1 ICE versus "I" competitor in same headlight (horizontally flipped for ease of visibility)

The group buy will be announced shortly.
