different design, the new bimmer use a normal bulb instead of those special for angel eye, the new design uses a reflective tube to light up the outer ring, which reduces the output, the new design also reduce the power to the bulb to 60% when xenon are on, thus it is impossible to match the xenon

I am getting the GP Thunders for my e92. I like the way they look with the xenons better than MTECs.

So there is absolutely no way to match the angels to the xenon HID? What about the Daylight driving lights can they be matched?

while its not 100% match, i thought the GP Thunders came the closest. I like the new design compared to the old one, but i just wish that each ring had its own bulb. it looks weird when 1 ring is significantly brighter than the other.
