Who has the best price on City vision led angel eye lights??

Like the title states, who's got the best warranty/price point on these bad boys? I like what I see from these led angels so far (price and performance). Vendors, chime in too (ready to buy).

I heard they are complete garbage....dont waste your time buying any LED solution besides Angel-i Brights, or LUX....I just got a set of used LUX for my car....they best ive seen so far. OSS is rice as hell, and opening up these 2k+ headlights is not a good idea any way you look at it...LUX has no errors, the dont flicker, and they dim....they are fucking sick, and MARC (the guy who makes them) is extrememly helpful with questions..

Dont buy any other Ebay LED, trust me, you will eventually spend more than what LUX goes for and regret it.

If you are going to stay holagen I have a shitload of MTEC, GP thunder h-8's and h-3's from my car, let me know if you want them for your angels.

I saw this thread and thought for the price, they weren't too bad:http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...ht=city+vision

I agree, the OSS, AIB and LUX are the best but the price point is a bit steep just for angel lights. I do like that the LUX 3.0 price point is lower, but still about $100 off from what I'm willing to spend for the angels.

WeissLicht are pretty solid.. Bimmian and JLevi both sell them for 150.. they are also sold on ebay, actually on sale today for $103 USD, by a company called iJDMtoy and are identical to the Weisslicht brand..

Not too bad IMO, definitely better than city vision.

CamaroSS's HID kit is also only 169 shipped.

Don't be so quick to judge on the City Visions. Take a look at my review first. I don't think you have tested these in person. they are brighter than GP Thunders, RD, or stock units and these do not dim as much. These do not flicker and they fade in and out (just like OEM) and no errors at all.

Sure LUX is king, but comparing the different products at their price levels
LUX ($230+)
City Vision ( $100 - $150)
GP Thunder (~$20)

Objectively at their price points, the City visions are very justifiable.

OP: im glad you liked my review hit up E92 Lighting and you'd get an awesome price.

The Reason why i didnt consider Weisslicht is because i have a E90 LCI and apparently there wasnt anything for my model yet.

We are the major distributor for all City Vision Lighting products and I can definitely help you out with this. I do see that you have a 07 BMW E92 335i and do want to let yo know that the 2007 models do have VERY sensitive electronics and do often times run into issues with error codes with most LED Angel Eye's including those from City Vision Lighting. I do recommend that my customers with 2007 coupes to check out the GP Thunder H8 Halogen replacement Angel eye bulbs in either 7500k or 8500k for that specific reason.

However, for those of you who do have the 2008-2010 E92 coupes I would definitely recommend that you check out the 6W LED Angel Eye bulbs by City Vision Lighting. The City Vision LED Angel Eyes feature a 6 watt 6000K pure white LED bulb for a brilliant white light that looks classy on any model BMW. They are a breeze to install, and require no special tools, and does not require removal of your headlight. I'll go ahead and shoot you over a PM with more details. In the meantime, here are a few pictures of them installed on my 08 E92 335i for you to check out as well!

Obviously your e90 has many good options for LED's and I cant tell the difference between any of them on any e90's. They all seem to be just about the same. OP has an e92, as do I, and clearly the City Visions and all others blow....lol LUX is the closest thing to perfect for our shitty headlights. OSS is good too, but ricey IMO.

But yeah, wasting $100 and your time or to eventually replace those shitty LEDs? Just save the cash and get LUX. nuff said

You can spend your $$$ a little more wisely for brighter lights.

they are not LUX 3... i believe you are referring to the LUX H8 v3.

LUX H8 will be your brightest option for a direct bulb replacement and is fully reversible , unlike OSS. OSS will be brighter, but it does require more work and more money as well.

My E90 is the LCI model, so i use H8 angel eye bulbs just like the E92 too. the PRE LCI E90 used completely different lights. So yeah, our options are very limited because of the shitty design of our headlights in the first place.

If someone has the money by all means, LUX is the way to go. I tried a few sets in the past for the sake of reviewing the bulbs with an objective point of view. I'd like to review the LUX too in the future! but point is City Visions aint as bad as you'd think.
