ALPINE HID Kit ..WOW these are bright! Full review and DIY

Dr. G · 01-10-2011, 06:35 PM

Would def love to hear what people have to say about these at night time. I keep seeing mixed opinions.

My concern is them being too bright at night time, daytime brightness doesn't really matter to me since I don't even drive during the day. I just want the rings to be very apparent and well defined even at night time.

Any input guys? Some pics would help, but I'm guessing it would be hard to capture how they really look.

Sorry for bumping this old thread but do these fit the pre-lci E92?

I assume the 12k won't be "blinding" or so bright you dont need your headlights on atnight? Correct? Ne1 with 12k pics. Thanks

I would venture a guess that they won't, because the higher you go in K value - the less actual light output you have.

So 12K will have considerably less light output than the factory K value lighting...

I have ordered mine from Alex last year. I am selling it for 100 USD incl. shipment from Germany. One electronic control unit got replaced 2 months ago. Great customer service Alex has.
Its for the E92 Coupe with 8000k.

I accept paypal payment only.

Thanks

Customer service is excellent. I don't deny them that. But their shipping process is slow.........I'm getting ready to cancel my order and go else where.
