AngeliBright Alternative?

Has anyone seen these yet? Only $129 compared to AngeliBrights which I think are $349. Perhaps they're not as bright as the iBrights? Saw these at BavAuto

Turns Angel Eyes from Yellow to White to Match the Color of HID Lights. An absolute must for the fashion conscious BMW enthusiast. This simple replacement bulb and socket assembly replaces the stock unit to give the vehicle's headlamp ring a clean, white 6500 Kelvin brilliance. The super L.E.D. bulb in this assembly upgrades the color from a typical incandescent yellow, to a color typical to H.I.D. bulbs, matching the factory H.I.D. headlamps.

Before & after on an E39 5 series:

There are many downfalls of the PIAA or any other manufacturer compared to the Angel iBright. Including brightness, color match, quality of build, quality of materials used and the lack of a true ballast system (the iBright has a complete ballast with microprocessor).

The iBright is also manufactured and assembled in the USA.

Search the web, or ask around, many of our customers purchased the PIAA, returned it, and purchased ours instead.

Have a great 4th of July everyone!

We are running a special for 10% today, tomorrow, and Wedneday!

one thing you want to make sure is that the wattage required by the PIAAs are not higher than the OEM spec, which I think are 55W. Check to be sure. Otherwise you might have an overheating issue.

Verbal...do the PIAAs flicker with the engine on or have the blinking problem that the iBrights have?

PIAA are very dim. Check out Predator ICE. We just raised the price to $149 (From $119, then to $129, now $149... next week is $169, and then when the product arrives in 2 weeks, it will be up at $199.99), but it is still cheaper than the alternative.

Check it out at www.jlevisw.com






Thanks!
JL

Our current goal is to educate the consumer... Ceteris Paribus, as the legendary economist Adam Smith would say
