What angel eyes are those? Because i'm looking for a pair that is fairly bright even in day time, and i have a 2010, so the lights are LCI. From what i have heard and seen, the weisslicht angel eyes aren't that bright.

Great shoot. Car is looking awesome! Which Angel Eye kit do you have installed?

Unless the OP changes his Angel Eyes here is what hes running:

Vodyk has the Genesis ICE Angel Eye Kit from Umnitza (board sponsor). He purchased them a while ago (so did I) but they had errors.. he added resistors and a few months later Umnitza updated the Genesis ICE kit with Resistors (extra $12) so it now totals $182 for a kit that is error-free.

FYI -- I just ordered them again. I have a kit without the resistors (purchased them when they came out) for sale. You can send them in to Umnitza and they will add resistors and send them back to you. I puchased new ones because I just wanted to.. no reason at all. Only used them for 1 week.

@Gustav These are actually shots of my car. Rnydyman's m5 was the stock(+ rpi scoops) m5 at the photoshoot.

@avlnch I took it a step further and got a set of h8 HID bulbs/ballasts and currently use them, the m3 is using HID as well in the last pic. Lot of extra wires required for this setup and for the regular consumer i would say not worth the effort.

@CarbonM My setup isn't balanced but neither is OE. Its very hard to make a perfectly even setup with our cars (2008+ facelift) and chances are if you do get them even they wont be bright enough for daytime.

Thanks everyone for the positive comments :)

Thanks for the response Vodyk,
So what would be the closest set up without all the extra wiring to get a similar glow, as close to the HID set up as possible. Do weisslicht or the Genesis Ice even compare to your set up in terms of brightness? I've seen many cars set up with the led angel eyes, but they simply don't glow bright enough during the daytime. Basically, I want something that would be close, in terms of brightness, to either your setup or the new F10 stock angel eyes, the new led ones.
Thanks in advance!

I would go with the genesis for simplicity. I haven't seen a brighter led setup. However honestly stock bulbs or the fake hid white 35w h8 bulbs I would do if I didn't have real hid bulbs. Our cars like to throw codes, I haven't seen a led package not give our cars codes. Umnitza says they built in the resistors idk. I ended up putting my own in and use ignition on to turn on my hid halo's since you can't trigger from the halo when headlights are on and it goes down to 3-4v
