I don't have them, but have seen them and they are great. Best PnP angel eye kit by far.

Just installed mine about 20 minutes ago. They're pretty bright compared to others I've seen on the road. I'm happy so far, but I'll know more tomorrow when I can look at them in full sunlight. Installation was fairly easy thought it took a little while to get them in because the space is pretty tight.

Are the outer rings significantly dimmer than the inner lights?

how do the latest lux compare to the E92 LCI angel eyes?

i got an E92 Lci loaner, and the AE on it were amazing, super bright! kinda sucked to get my e92 with the yellow AE back later.

Wouldn't 4:30 IN THE SHADE (obviously) be the same as 7:30AM - 7:30 PM in the shade?

I'm surprised how happy people are with them. I don't think they are worth the money at all. Yes, in dawn, dusk, indoor garages, and etc it looks good, but in the sun they are almost non existent. I've seen eBay stuff that looked better than what I have. I guess I'm overall happy though since this is the closest without having a LCI. I think OSS looks terrible and ricer.

They have been the best I have been able to find - good quality, all inside the headlight install and brightest of any LED I have tried. Had them a year and still going strong - I don't think you could find anything better without opening the headlights and going full LED rings or running HID bulbs which are brighter, but not necessarily any better looking, most look too bright in my book.

Well keep in mind that was not shot from a straight on angle... you can see the lights much better from head on as if the car were coming at you. Also you're never going to have the outside rings as bright as the inside rings unless you go with actual led AE's (OSS).
