Angel Eyes Ebay's E46 WHITES installed!
Hey guys as some of you know from Saucisse's thread: http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=467563 he already installed the blue version of these LED Angels, but various people wanted to see my WHITE's installed. I also took the opportunity to paint the headlight housing black and install the clear turn signal lens. Gotta say I'm really happy with these and the blackout with clear lens looks amazing. I'll post some day pics ASAP but thought you would like to see the Angel night shots.

No ballasts, no temperture sensitvity, and $25!
PS Everything was going great until I went to install the Chromedome 7440 amber bulbs I had ordered from Autoillumination.com, seems my 2 yr old daughter liked them and walked off somewhere!
Had to order another set.
Here's the ebay link:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BMW-E...QQcmdZViewItem
Just as a heads up to other who may do this in the future NYPD-ARNOLD HINT HINT the only mistake I made is I think I used too much glue, the plastic rings are ribbed on the back which helps to spread the light from one LED at one end to the other LED at the other end I believe, but a lot of glue fills the ribs and somewhat diffuses the light, but nothing major, other than that they are great. Maybe Saucisse could chime in on this?

ask someone to drive in front of you at night & see if these angel eyes' light seem to scatter everywhere when driving or if its pretty even flowed throughout. because I questioned that very possibility with those lower priced angel eyes, I came across this seller that has a set that will prevent that from happening---> EBAY LINK <---
Backside of each ring is attached with custom-made high quality aluminum backing - This feature prevents light diffusing inside the headlamps and eliminate glare effect that happens on other competitions' kits. The aluminum backing greatly helps light projecting forward instead of letting it scatter out within the headlamps. Thus our kit gives a clear halo look.

They look awesome man. Please post more pix, even daytime would be nice. We got the same cars, and Ive really wanted to see what the black housings look like on a black 02-03. You did exactly what I want, so I'm envious. Any opinions on the eBay DDEs would be appreciated.

. I am fine with spending $30 on a product and deal with problems that MAY occur. Rather then spend $150-$200 and deal with the reoccurring issues of your set. You did not even stand behind your product and solve my problem when I called you months ago.

Good job MAXRB8! If you don't mind me asking, which glue did you use? I tried the 5 minute epoxy but it wouldn't stay put - had to reopen the headlamps thrice in a row after i noticed it coming off shortly after sealing it. 
Umnitza, no offense, your product is good and all, but no need to go on about how much better it is versus your competitor in both threads. Take this into consideration, some things are pricier and arguably better than others, but not everyone can afford the expensive counterpart - so people go with what they're comfortable with. There's nothing wrong with that.
By the way, some of your entries in that "FAQ" table of yours are misleading.

wow i am very surprised at how these look! could you take some pictures with the headlights on (warmed up) just to see how well they match? are they really as blue as the pictures without the flash show? How bright are they in real life? $25 is definitely worth giving them a try...i might get some and give my headlights an overhaul before maxus (wetsand, DDEs, etc.) Thanks for the pics!

The comparison table. I compared the "Ebay LED" to your DDE's locally and unless i'm missing something, the LED is much easier to install since the wiring is very straightforward. There is no necessary soldering involved, takes just as much, if not lesser time to install than your DDE's and definitely will not take an expert to figure out. Then again, i'm comparing these points for Maxima applications, using just these two types of rings - it may be different for BMW's.

I need to revisit this, i thought it was odd that one of the tubes was pushing more liquid than the other - that could be the culprit.Please post daytime pics when you get a chance.

i wish you had a better camera. but thanks for posting the pic anyways. it is well worth 30 bucks to try it. i mean what have i got to lose? 30 is still better than 150. and if you look at BMW halos theyre not really that bright, and thats how i wanted it to be, so this just might work out for me. good job rb8

Angle Eyes
Does anybody know another way we can get these (e46/36?) angel eyes off ebay??
I am sure that there is a way that they can be obtained for even cheaper then the price they are sold for on ebay.
If not, if we get enough people together we should get a group deal going. '
O and btw, they look really nice to me, the same look as umnitza dde's, easy install, and a 1/4 of the price. Also, I hear that umnitza has cold weather issues and such so these look like they the clear choice.

Retro is new again
The LED have been around since the beginning, amazing how the "pet rock" is coming back into style even though it stings.
Want to compare an LED with our rings?

Yes, the resistors are already in place on thoese ebay LED's, but so is the wiring/ballasts on your product. I'm not sure i get your point.Depending on which product you're talking about, the one from EBay does not take an expert to install. If you've seen it, you'll know what i mean.

The LED rings in that BMW are completely f*cked. And you can tell.
But like I said before, there are CCFL versions being sold for $55 too if people feel the lighting on these LEDs isn't sufficient enough. But we shall soon find out how it is when I get mine.
