E92 RD LED vs Stock Angel Eyes

I just got a replacement set of the Racing Dash LED Angel Eyes kit directly from RD. My other set fell apart and they replaced it with no hassles. Excellent customer service at Rd! I was running stock angels for about two weeks and got used them again! I installed the RD's & don't know if I'll keep them.

I only ask because I inquired about these and everyone has given me bad feedback! I wanted to get them, I found a vendor to ship them to me bnib for 54.99.

Right now there are 3 products out that are far better than RD's one of which I have (e92 lux).. And since I'm a previous RD owner I can promise you that the difference is night and day.. I'd just invest in one of those kits..

I like the LUX brightness but not blue enough. Camaross hid good price but dont trust the warranty of the lights. Aib Bright a little bit over priced plus again its white. Rd for the blueish light and the price still the best for now until something comes out in blue.

The LUX H8 bulbs will be rated at 6500k, just as a heads up. I will be trying to see if i can ever get ahold of 10,000k LED's

marc if you ever get the 10,000k led's do you think we could work out some kind of bulb swap deal with the 6,000k ones i have now? also to "strife 335i 2008": if you don't mind that your car looks like a cheap japanese car when your angel eyes flicker on/off when you unlock and lock the car than i guess RD's are good for you..

oops my bad.. i never saw that.. well either way.. it looks strange when all the lights fade on and off on a e92 and then you see the front angels flicker on and flicker off while the turn signals are fading on and off... i like how the lux's just go on with no flickering..
