Liub's 135i Angel eye upgrade

I thought i would show you are quick comparison between Liub's Angel eye upgrade against a stock car we had in. If you look quick enough you can also see Liub's Eibach pro kit installed.

Liub got it off a group buy on this forum, he is going to test them out and see how they go. When he gets time, he'll post the brand. It is a HID kit, can't think of the name right now. He had a light check light when he picked it up the other day, but we'll see how that goes.

Looks sweet. Thanks for the video, I was looking at the LuX bulbs but these look great too.

Hi guys, love the lights. Thanks Andrew for the install!

I purchased it off Alex@Alpine on 1Addicts, if you search for HID Angel Lights in Commercial you will see the original group buy. I purchased it separately from the group buy as Andrew didn't have something that's comparable to these (they are BRIGHT) but I think Andrew may be keen to stock some after seeing mine .

Any questions let me know. It is still throwing a code for the front left light on startup, but is gone after a few seconds. May have something to do with them requiring time to charge up?

They def look better in your video then real life. I have the same kit. They are too bright that from 10 feet away it just looks like high beams. Oh well they are still cool

It's not high-beam bright, but definitely bright. You can tell when you unlock the car and the ambient light is bright enough to illuminate the garage :P. Push come to shove probably not TOO bright, but definitely up there and I would prefer it a little less.

I have the 7000k. They look more blue in Andrew's video than in real life, but can definitely see a tinge of blue in it!

Liub, thanks for your answer. That sounds great.

BUT, what if you drive at night? How does the Police or other drivers react?

I haven't had any negative reactions from others on the road yet but I haven't had them installed for all that long either! Shouldn't be a problem as the light doesn't project that far, but may be an issue when you're right up someones butt at the traffic lights etc
