That being said, there appears to be a new product on the market. If I were still looking for angel eyes, I would seriously consider the Bellof LEDs from Japan that WSTO is now selling. PnP solution from a great vendor.

The Bellof LED setup is interesting, but as many people will agree, that this kit lacks proper heat sinking. If you look at the AIB kit, the Mtec kit for the E90, or any of the LUX kits, they all made out of aluminum to allow for the heat to dissipate.

According to http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProd...logenProducts/ here are the specs on stock H8 bulb:
H8 Halogen - 730 Lm +- 110. 175 hours
LUX H8 - 850 Lumen, 50,000 hours
AIB - (this is only a guess) ~560 lumen
