AngeliBright Install GP Thunder compare

[Z4dave]

Shipping was fast, Kit came very neatly packed and pretty fool proof instructions

Ill post more pics when the sun goes down
Heres some with DRL and then Headlights on
(<-----AngeliBright|||||||||GPThunder 8500k--->)

[Cab5er]

Sweet! Can't wait to install mine

[Z4dave]

Night shots
The difference if very minimal with just the halos on but with the headlights turned on the AngeliBright are much brighter and whiter, and the light is very even around each halo
Also matches the factory xenons perfectly

Yep, Angel iBrights for the win! I love mine .

[Cab5er]

That looks so nice! I installed mine but only one side works. The side that works looks awesome though.

Looks nice, but this is the first set of pics where the AiB don't seem to evenly light the angels and more than the GPs. I guess all the kits depend on what angle you look at the lights from, it seems most are even when looked at straight on (aside from HID cause they are so bright in the inner one) and most seem to fade on the outer ring as you move to the side.

They do look good at night though

i've been having issues with my passenger side angel eye burning out... i put a new one in & it burned out in 10 minutes. i'm guessing i have a short so i'm gonna re-install my stock ones & bring it to the dealer haha

let us know what goes on with your car also please

[SlammedR8]

WTF?
does noone else think these do not look good at all?

I was very close to purchasing these from EAS as most pics looked great, even light between the angel eyes and they just looked good. But im sorry OP, those do not look even AT ALL. Even at night, the outer rings isn't even light.

I cant believe noone else has said this yet...nothing against you OP, it is even possible that they are not instaleld correctly because that does not look anything like the other pics I have seen of AiBs.


Does anyone really think that the outer ring is evenly lit up in this picture?

The pic appears to be taken at a slightly upward angle. Taking the picture at eye level will even out the outer ring, allowing full light to be seen through the fiber ring.

This will happen with any angel eye kit, whether it be LED, HID or even halogen. Here's an example in daylight (shade):



As you can see, both rings are fully illuminated.

camaross305 elite kit also looks even when viewed straight on. None are even when looking from an angle.

Here are pics from an install yesterday.

<----AIB vs Stock---->

in that picture, i agree it is fully illuminated!
but not in the OPs, and yes the angles will defintely make a difference, but that night pic is awful IMO. 75% of the ring isn't lit at all

Slammed M3,

The OP's pics do not do the lights justice. At the angle they were taken, the inner rings look brighter than the outer. It's looks 100x better in person. I have a pic where I'm closer to the inner ring and it looks brighter than my outer. It depends on how you take the picture..I'll try to post mine shortly. Warning though, it's an iPhone pic lol



///Edit... Here's another pic.

The evenness and brightness to me are exactly like the stock. The more centered you are to the car the more the halos look even, when you start moving off center, it's not as even, exactly like stock.

haha, One of my AiB wires got disconnected so I drove around with one side stock and one side with the AiB, also. The stocks are so much more noticeable during a bright day because they're yellow, so it looked like my AiB side was burnt out because the stock stood out so much more.

After some soldering, I installed both. Looks good during the day, but at night, it is stunning.

[Cab5er]

Up and running. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee I am such a dork when it comes to mods

[Z4dave]

Its just depends what angle your looking at the light but its more visible in pics.
I`ve seen a few kits in person the outer ring is always going to be slightly dimmer or less visible

Some where its posted its just the design of the factory halo system.

Don't think any kit can get results that the E46 guys have right now until some one figures out a way to put some better halos inside the headlight
until then imo Angel iBright is the best option

I have a HD Youtube video uploading will post it soon, give you guys a better idea of what it looks like in person

[Z4dave]

I have both sides installed now
