No issues at all, I am sure over the 100 kits we have sold many members can chime in on this. All of our plastics and wires are tested well over 400F, never burn or anything. Also, many other vendors keep large units inside the headlights causing things to get in the way of the adaptive system, our Angel Eye system does not have anything but the bulb inside the housing.

So what is the verdict - do we absolutely lose the adaptive feature of the headlights with the Alpine? I can live with a few blown fuses every now and then, but the adaptive lights is a fairly big compromise...
Not a single feature lost with this kit, and the kit is FUSED in 2 different areas of the kit for protection reasons, but it is very rare for a fuse to pop/burn, we have them in place just in case of a accident, electronic failure and so on.

Did you want the caps also, or just the Angel Eye kit?

Add me to the list for the GB $150+CAPS if possible; I would like 6000K since it is similar to the new halo rings on the new 3/5-series and they are mesmerizing.

I was looking for my thread posting my lights, but I couldn't find it. Anyway, here's the pics:

This is in BROAD DAYLIGHT and look how visible they are. They really are an attention getter. You'll notice people turning their heads when you drive by, or even just sitting somewhere, notice the people glancing with, "oohs," and "ahhs."


At night, they are brighter than the non-HID rings you had before too.
This is just the halos on; no low beams or anything.

Notice with just the halos on, the light does spray out in front of you. I wouldn't recommend it, but you might get away with just driving with the halos on.

This is with low beams on (you get better visibility in front of you, the halos aren't so bright that you can't see your low beams). You can still see them cut a swathe through the darkness as they swivel left or right with your steering.


This is with the high beams. Sorry for the bad pics, they came from my cell phone. The high beams did brighten up more than this pic represents.


Those were 8k, so you may notice that the light did have a slight bluish tinge to it. I know, some people say it's ricer, but honestly, the slight blue looks good to me. Looking at the pic with just the halos on, you really notice a difference in color to the other two pictures. The low beams will still "outshine" your halos (as they should).
