Can you give a little more info on what's included with kit and how it works? Some pictures of kit itself would probably help sell these. At least that way people will know if they are getting more than just a bulb replacement.

The ktis are a bit more than replacing bulbs, here's what's included:

(2) AngeliBright 10W LED lightsources
(2) AiB Heatsinks (detachable for easy installation)
(2) DriverPacks for LED operation and prevention of bulb-out errors

OEM connectors are used, no external harnesses or modification to the headlight housings is required. Kit can be completely uninstalled without a trace if the vehicle is sold/traded in at a later date.

Simply swap the weak 35W halogen bulbs with the new AiB units and you're completed. We'll have product shots posted later in this thread.

Not to thread crap but Camaro's HID kit is cheaper and noticeably brighter.

Please note this is NOT the same kit that they [**********s] have. Since we're exclusive on these angel eyes, we're the only vendor out there that has them and has the ability to sell them. For further information, please feel free to call in.

If you can, please send me a PM if you're curious about more of this. As we state on this thread for the product:

"eas is proud to announce that we are now the exclusive distributor of AngeliBright for your BMW. Angel iBright V3.0 fits any e92 3-Series Coupe (including M3 Coupe/Sedan) with Angel Eyes from the factory ever built."

As you can see from the **********s website, they do not have Angel iBright up for the E92's as listed for these angel eyes... If you have any further questions or concerns, call me directly, or feel free to call Angel iBright directly for further info at (800) 620.0269.

*Please note, **********s, is NOT Angel iBright. They're separate companies, and the kit you're referring to off their website, is for the e90, which is a different kit.*

I've seen both in person and this is isn't the case.

The HID kits work in a bit of a different fashion using a very high temperature bulb (color) to bring the lumen count down, this in effect turns the ring very blue. Also - similar to OEM, the outer ring is still uneven since no light redirection is used and you still need to figure out where to place the ballast (requires notching of the top cover).

This doesn't even address the high temperatures HIDs run.

The AiBs are a brighter, much more whiter light. None of beforementioned issues are present with a LED-based source.

Tom,

Can't wait to see a pic of the product or some more info on how you're evenly lighting both rings...

Except the rings are uneven. The bright side is way too bright and the weak side is still too dim.

Here are some more daytime shots I took today taken from several different angles, heights etc. The lowest shot would be at about 3 ft, medium is 5 ft, and highest would be about 6.5 ft

Get some info up on how it works, how the light gets distributed evenly as opposed to the stock setup

i'd love to see a compasion between these and the EFX angel eyes
huge difference in price
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...id=p2759.l1259
$130 Vs $300
i think $300 is a bit overkill for 10w LEDs when you can get the LEDs for about $15
you can get 20w LEDs for around $30
