E92 Angel inner eyes

Hello,

I see with most angel eyes you can see the middle lights within the angel eyes also give light.
Does anyone know of bright LED lights that don't?
From what I seen on pictures of the bigger brands of angel eyes the inner light always light up also, and not just the inner rings only.

Here's a example picture:

The light inside the red ring should not light up, making the inner rings look much better.
And I mean without opening the headlights and install custom rings.

Only custom rings would have less tendency to glare into the inner cornering/ city lights.

You can't stop the glare of the factory fiber optic tubes from giving light where they do.

Custom LED rings would literally have a ring of LED that would point outward, that's why they have such a contrasting look.

The problem with custom LED rings is cost, integrity of the work done and reliability of the rings.

Thanks for the reply.
What do you think of these angle LEDS that go directly infront of the ring tube so the inner bulbs don't light up? They only have one LED on each side so I don't know if the rings come up as bright enough with these.
But atleast they dont light up the cornering lights.

Actually... the inner circle lights are supposed to light

Since angel eyes and DRL (inner circle light) are powered by same bulb in LCI

Those are very old and outdated with very low power. We used those about 8 years ago for example.

You'll find better output with todays offerings.
