Would be beneficial to snap few pics on a sunny day. Also, are these 4 LEDs units, i.e. 4 x 5W bulbs in each; square setup?

It's all personal preference right? I mean they pay a premium for a good reputable brand that has been in the market for a while.

Some of us though, can't justify shelling out $350 for a set of angel eyes. (That's the price we pay in Toronto after shipping/taxes/brokerage). Sure it's made in China, but as long as the quality is good and the brightness is good, I don't see a problem. Especially when you are paying less than half the price of what's on the market now that provides the same brightness.

Aren't LUX made overseas too...as most electronics (IE: Apple) these days?

Also, you can provide the same brightness, but do you also provide the same quality control and no iDrive messages about lights being out, etc? If so, then I think you're on to something. I agree, $350 is INSANE for some LEDs. If they were $100, I'd be interested. Anything more is just too rich for my blood (for LEDs).
