LED angel eyes bulb, anyone tried this one?
Hi all! I am considering upgrade my angel eyes to whiter and brighter LED bulbs. I searched eBay and found below one, which is cheaper than Mtec v3. Just want to know anyone here tried this one and the feedback on this one.

7000K 10W CREE LED Angel Eyes For BMW E39 E53 X5 E60 E61 E63 E64 E65 E66 E83 E87 | eBay

By the way, below link is th Mtec one, which one is better?

MTEC Ver.3.0 LED Angel Eye Bulbs BMW E83 X3 06-10 LCI | eBay

Thanks for help!

I'm currently using MTEC v3 and they are great at night but are hardly visible during the day. I would suggest not going any cheaper then the MTEC's. Check out the angelbrights too, those are the best you can get.

Driven is an unknown quantity at this point
Do the angelbrights require removal of the headlights for installation?

No need to remove the headlight for installing the angel eye bulb.

i just got some LED replacements from ecs tuning, they are 7000w but not as bright as i was hoping for, but i guess they are better then the stock ones, plus one of my bulbs were out. i only paid 63 dollars with shipping.

IMHO, the limitation is not the LED light output but the optics on the assembly. All BMW new headlamps design to channel more lights to the rings.

With that said, is the installation relatively easy? Any special tools needed?

Nope, took me less than 5 mins to do mine. No tools either.

The new LCI versions with LEDs use multi LED rings, hence being much brighter.
