I am hoping that I am wrong, and some new product comes a long that will revolutionize this, but I'm afraid the only way to get brighter rings is by getting CCFL or new headlights.

The pictures I have above were actually V5s. I have upgraded them to the VXXs months ago which are a little bit brighter, though you can still barely see them on during the day.

Only way to make it like the F10 is to do the headlight opening + Orion V2 upgrade. it's the only way to really go super bright.

But we may be releasing an even brigher version (if it doesn't keep failing) than the VXX.

the VXX is brighter than the iBright (they use a 3w bulbs, we use a 10).

I installed WeissLicht LEDs last month. They appear to be the same as the Umnitzas except silver in color. They are nice and white but nothing like the full LED AE on my e46. like other said, the rings themselves are probably the cause

I can never keep up with these new LEDs at the rate these new versions are coming out..
