City Vision Angel Eyes from E92 Lighting

You know what I'm referring to right? With OEM angels, when you unlock the car, they have a dramatic fade to on. When locking, they would fade to black the same. Those LEDs do that?

LED's are not able to fade in and out, they are simply on or off

Not sure why they couldn't apply the same technology to the angels

Otherwise it just looks like any other japanese import IMO. The fade effect really looks great, and many folks value that seemingly insignificant feature about their lights. Thank you for the information though- I'll pass.

Well when i unlock my car the angel eyes do fade and it’s a noticeable fade. I actually unlocked my car and watched just to make sure i was seeing it right.... I don’t know why mine would fade if """Leds don’t fade and turn off and on""" can anybody explain??

I liked mine but had two bulbs go out in 4 months, found out later it was because of the pre-07 build electrical problems. **********s refunded me with no hassle.

About the bulbs themselves, easy installation, they looked great in the shade, at dusk or at night, but were barely noticeable during the day. I liked the color but just wasnt happy with the bulb quality.

I ended up going with Alpine HID's and love them. You can see them no matter how bright it is outside, and are actually so bright at night that you can drive without your headlights on lol

Completely plug and play? Like City Vision? LEDs can fade, but not all of them apparently. My Dome light LED replacements and puddle lights do, hell even my door handle LEDs do.

Alex@Alpine is a sponsor here, great guy with great service. It's a little bit more than plug and play because you have to hook it up to the battery, but is still very easy. He has an install video also, only takes about 15 minutes to install them.
