Will have day time pictures up soon. Yes, these are 4leds set ups.

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).

I'm agree most electronics are made overseas these days.. not sure about lux though so I'm not gonna comment on where they're made nor quality of their products.

For these AEs, brightness is the same / even brighter according to some testers. These are good quality, don't throw any errors at all. It turns out I need to become a sponsor at the e90 forums to start group buys. If I do start group buy over there, I will include the people that are interested here as well.

These lights are not as bright as lux, nor mine.

Cree are great, but I'm unsure about for this application. I have some Cree-lit flashlights that can blind you temporarily...they're great.
