How is this different than any of the 20W cree LEDs that are selling on Ebay? These for example

Many idiots want very bright angel eyes.



I will try to get some day shots up within this week
Fixed.

Last thing I need is something that says "look at me"... lights, colors, vanity plate, etc.

and I always keep a few 1/4" ball bearings in the console for morons driving with illegally bright headlights.

Most of the angel eyes on ebay don't come with warranty. They don't come with warranty because some people take the angel eyes that don't pass QC at the factory and just throw them on eBay.
A quick ebay search also shows that they are the old version of the angel eyes. The ones I have are the newer generations.

I wouldn't go as far as calling them idiots, but it's all personal preference right? Some like white angel eyes instead of the amber rings that come stock. Also, these angel eyes are not going to be blinding. The new LCI angel eyes on the other hand....

That is a very interesting test indeed. I agree that the LUX are probably more bright, and mine being slightly brighter than LUX.. soo..
