Looking for ideas - LUX rings for the E92

I have not developed anything yet, but have some good ideas where to start right now.

Questions i need answers to from everyone. What is most important

Overall Brightness?
Color?
Equal brightness betwen inner / outer rings
Other ( specify)

Color most likely will be about 6000k White- that is a given. Any cooler then that will be harder though.

Definitely equal brightness. As long as it's not barely visible as DRLs, having equal brightness would be beautiful!

non-E92 owner here, but when I see E92s on the road in my rearview mirror, it looks odd to have the inner rings brighter. I think rings with equal brightness would be HOT

Equal brightness is what i figured people would answer. I have a bunch of ideas already in store, i just need to find a better condition headlight to do some testing with.

Dont expect anything soon, seing that i dont even have a headlight. I'll keep this posted as i go

equal brightness is a must plus the halos being visible during the day instead of being so white you can't see them.

I think you'll find most people want Equal Brightness.

I'm also hopefully working on a solution for this...http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=84395
