I've been shopping as well. While I do see they are bright, it almost seems that the brighter you go they look to bright. Almost like there is a larger difference between the two rings. Anyone else notice that? I wonder if the 80W is overkill? Thoughts?

I would personally put nothing less then 80W on my own vehicle. Brightness per dollar these can't be beat. |

Had these installed for about 3 weeks now. The bulbs are high quality and emit bright light that's visible during day light, and looks great at dusk.
The bulbs themselves are pretty beefy - large rectangular shaped heat sink with an integrated fan. On my coupe, it was a tight fit - but if you just keep at it they will eventually go in. Typical for E92 rings, the inner ring looks brighter than the outer ring. I got these because of the price and good reviews. |

I have "40W LED" in my kitchen at home and they only draw something like 2.5 Watts of actual power. 80W designates output equivalent not current draw, the current draw is actually less then stock. |

any further reviews on these? Judging by the size of the heatsink/fan they look like a biaatch to install.
Any flickering during lock/unlock fade? |

Also, lifespan? My last LED halos burned out after not much over a year.

Heat is the #1 killer of LED's which is why we had HPB implement fans for extra output and longevity. |

I bought these Black Friday and am pretty happy with them. Got the package deal with the interior LED bulbs.
They were a bitch to install due to the large heatsink. I removed the power steering bracket and that other thing to get better access. After that, I was golden. I'll take some pics later and post them. |
