Well, all the cool kids are doing it, so if you don't understand it, then I guess you must not be very cool.

For me, having bright angel eyes (that are on as DRLs) is just part of modernizing my E53 to bring it closer to the current look for E70s. It's the same reason I am also interested in switching out my courtesy/puddle lights to LEDs. White LEDs ar the newest trend in lighting, so anything not LED tends to look older. Regardless of any trends, I also think bright, white LED AEs look a lot better than the yellow stock halogens. It's a much better match for the stock xenons.

I certainly understand if someone would rather spend $70 on something else for their cars (or not spending the $70 at all).
