Angel Eye HELP!!

Hey guys big noob here just picked up my 335i e92 last week, and am looking to do a few modifications. First one I was looking into was Angel eyes. I wanted to get blue ones, and was looking on ebay for some. Don't know if I should get it from there or just stick with a well known site like Bimmian and J Levi. But here is the link for the Angel eyes I was looking at

The difference is going to be in the product quality and support you get. Ours are not much more than the ebay kits and are backed by a warranty and proven on the forums. They have angled LEDs that fan out in a Y shape to provide fuller illumination.

The ebay kit you pointed to is similar to the old RD style which was okay but did not provide full output on all four rings.

Our position is that it is worth it to pay a bit more for a higher quality product that is backed by a reputable vendor and proven on the forums. However, if price is your main concern, then I definitely understand the Ebay route.

if you buy a blue angel eye you will be pulled over within a few days. Dont waste the time and money on it. I would recommend a good quality White Angel eye

At this time I believe we have the brightest Angel Eye setup on the market, with the ability to switch between colors with the change of the bulbs, here is picture of our 10,000K blue




80000K

Hey thanks guys! I took into consideration that I would get pulled over with the blue angel eyes. So I decided on getting the White ones! Which of these would be better

or

why are the EAS angel eyes double the price?

We did extensive research and testing on our end, trying every option available for the angel eyes, including HID, LED, Halogen etc. We wanted a product that was the highest quality on the market, the closest resemblance to something BMW would put in their cars from the factory, and something that is non-obtrusive when installing. Angelibright satisfied these needs.

-Billet construction
-Made in the USA
-10W LED
-3 Year warranty
-Equal light distribution between both inner and outer rings.
