I think all the codes are used, check the site if it registers, you get it.
As for halogen, probably not, haven't done it yet.

Predator ICE? HIGH OUTPUT UPDATE
The Umnitza Predator ICE (Integrated Color Enhancement) angel eye system, ....
Good News:
Competitive Breakdown
Some comments about these photos:
1) "I" is a competitor that is one of three, it's not "P" competitor - P = PIAA
2) Many comments made on the actual photos may not be readable, there are larger images available if you click on the images.
3) While difficult to quantify in pictures, if you look carefully, you'll see the output differences between the units as the output on the actual rings. In real life this difference is much more pronounced
4) Pricing - while not overtly discussed on the photos, plays a very prominent role in this as the Predator ICE 3W+ is only $199 at retail, whereas the competitor's new offering is $130 more for exactly the same output, while the higher output Predator ICE 5W system while brighter is only slightly less expensive (there may even be a discount/money back program for this product depending on timeframe availability of AMP connectors for all cars).
The Umnitza Predator ICE (Integrated Color Enhancement) angel eye system, ....
Good News:
- Incredibly brighter output - LOOK BELOW
- Guaranteed 0 down time
- Same great plug and plug and play fit (adjustments are being made for X5 owners where we determined that our tabs were 1mm too tall - not wide).
- Same great build quality
- Same sound engineering principles for high output and upgrade potential (see below)
- New high output requires a 2X sized controller box (it will come with DS tape initially to just install it outside the headlight or inside - E65 & E60)
- Existing early release units and some test units still have spade connectors, but by full production in mid April, all future units will have a combination connector that will allow you to install this on your 5 series E39 then take it out and put it into a newer car if you decide to do so with complete plug and play functionality.
- We will have a unit for the E92/E90 by the end of April with the high output.

The room is a black room designed to test output of all lighting products.
When I have a chance, I'll get you the answer to the machine type used, but suffice it to say, it's an ISO9001 Certified testing room, so it has to meet certain criteria.
But, you have to see the little testing table, that's where the bulbs will be mounted.
This is an exact photo of testing computer. This computer - if you look carefully is displaying 0 output. This is because the lights are completely off in the room and the camera is set to a 1" exposure so it captures light off the screen without distorting the actual output or image.
This is the "i" product tested first. Note the "cD" output used to rate LEDs and the "LX" output.
This is the Predator ICE HO 5W product - note the vast discrepancy in output from this image to the last image in output.
We have a video of this, but unfortunately, it was too big to host - 50MB and I couldn't get it converted without crashing my PC...sorry about that.

How do we order DRL functionality? I would like to place that order as well at same time.
