Question Noob Q: about Angle eyes.

I have read quite a bit on here about angle eye mods. I have seen a lot of good products being discussed. Most of which are for 2009 and earlier or "Pre LCI".
I have a 2011 E90 and i am looking for the best option for LED angle eyes. Here are a couple of links to some products ive been looking at. If i missed a thread or post on this i am sorry please dont bash me. I am new to the BMW world and the Forum world.

OK, so I'm going to be nice and actually tell you the answer instead of yelling at you to search. Both of the things you listed will disappoint you during the daytime. It's very easy to make LEDs look brighter than they really are in pictures by using a longer exposure in a dark setting. It's undisputed that, in terms of Plug and Play brightness, the LUX H8 V3 is the best product on the market. Marc@LuxAngelEyes is a member on e90post, and here is his website where you can order them: http://www.luxangeleyes.com/ Now you may say "OMG $250?!? That's crazy." But consider this: both of the links you listed are pretty much the same product (WeissLicht is a heavily marked-up version of Racing Dash products, which sell for much cheaper, comparable to buying food at a sports game) and neither of them will wow you. So you will spend more in the end trying to get a good solution instead of just going with the LUX's from the beginning.

You could always have the headlight shipped somewhere and they would put led rings in it. That would be the brightest, also cost you a lot more. LUX is the best bulb replacement.
