I have also looked into these and I think paying $200+ for angel eyes is ridiculous.. so I have offered some members a better alternative.

I have a group buy going on in e90post for the 3-series peeps here.
Group Buy ||First Choice angel eyes || 20W H8 Cree || - Page 2 - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum - E90Post.com

and a review of these lights from member

Just giving you more options

patrickkc,
In your pictures the ones you are doing the group buy look too bright to me. The price on the LUX or the MTEC do not bother me. Now I just want to know where to get the MTEC's.

well, i'm still debating in my head wheather to do it or not, because i spoke to my friend today who has Lexus LX 570 and he has xenon fog lights and he tolled me they are useless in fog and he is considering changing them to normal ones.

you guys any idea about how the xenon fog lights work in fog?

Found this FWIW.
Do Fog Lights Really Work?, Alaska Science Forum

And I thought the whiter the worse they were...maybe not.

A halogen light and HID light put out completely different light and at very different intensities. So, putting an HID into a housing designed for a halogen, will not give you something "better", just different, and most likely way outside of the lenses intended output and diffusion.
Fog will reflect light, so a brighter, and whiter light with a diffusion pattern all over the place, will most likely make it harder to see. My 0.02.

Oh...and the folks around my area with those blueish crap HID like lights on the big pickups that blind everyone....I have some lugnuts and ball bearings with your name on them.
