Since you asked which are brighter, the AIBs are brighter than ICE. There was also someone that had Predator ICE at the impromptu mini-meet.

When i asked Umnitza said theirs were brighter, anyhow, i think both are okay and for 80 bucks less im sure i can deal with the less brighter ones, not that big of a deal i think both look great.

Yep, I think I will go with the AIB's, since they have a special going on also. Plus I don't like the fact you have to splice the Umnitza's.

Cman, I wouldn't say they are "a lot brighter". Although I concur, my ICE is not as bright as AIBs. I'm happy with them though.
With ICE, you have a wire tap that clamps on the OEM wires. I don't know if this technically is the same as a splice? 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.
Hope this helps. good luck.

Umnitza says this new version will be 2 times as bright so i will ask for a comparison.
