XTEC LED's

As per the title, barely visible in normal daylight, very disappointing and a waste of money.

Should have searched more thoroughly rather than be taken in by the description.

Replacing the factory-fitted dull yellow bulbs with the XTEC BMW LED Ring Marker kit will give you the brightest and whitest angel eyes on the street.

Yes and they are also a fairly loose fit compared to normal bulbs so would end up incorrectly aligned over time.

Thanks for the heads up matey, I was just about to order these. The marketing seems sooooo convincing, if only they applied similar skill in their product development.

I have e-mailed the supplier but so far no response.

This photo suggests all is good but it was getting dark and the camera did a good job of compensating for the dusky conditions, you can see much more glare coming from the standard 'dull' bulb.

Keep standard mate!

Where abouts Cambs?
