LED Angel Eyes Installed + HID Fogs *PICS*

I installed the L.E.D. from MAX5. Really disappointed in these lights. You can hardly even see them in the Daytime with the DRL's. At night you can see them, but they are not that bright. I would say that in DRL mode they are about 25% the brightness of the OEM bulbs. Anyone have similar experience? I changed out the L.E.D.'s after about three weeks and reinstalled the OEM bulb and the difference is astounding on the brightness.

The LEDS are crap.. one side (resistor) burnt out ater 2 hours.. I've wired in new resistors to fix 'em as I couldn't be bothered returning them....They are a waste of money ...do not get them...The patent must have cost them a bomb as they charge so much for these and they are below average.

me also I bought angel eyes LED from America (i live in romania), and after i`ve spent 200$ on it, i expected to look good. i was wrong! on one side of the car the led were much brighter, on the other side of the car they got very blue. after i stop the car and light on the angel eyes, if the car was stoped, the led faded from white to dark blue. Finally i removed them and mounted back the OEM lights for angel eyes. Rubbish!

Agreed.. they are sub par ... anyone selling these should be ashamed.. not sure on the PIAA but the Racing Dash ones are very poor...

TEFF, I notice that you have an 2009 E70, How did you remove the light unit so that you could get to the angel eyes? Can you explain in detail please as I am trying to change mine as well but I am finding it very difficult to get to the angel eye bulbs.

Thanks,
Bozz.
