True, I have a E90 LCI with Xenon which uses a H8 for the angel eyes like pre LCI E92/93.
I am after a set of LED angel bulbs that are brighten both the inner and outer rings. I have seem some Lux ones but there well over £100. |

The E90 LCI inner rings will always be brighter than the outers. It's the way they are designed.

Glad to help
They look great. The funny thing is guys that it's the design of the fibre optic. The cut pattern. If you actually put your ear near the ground so you are looking up at the angel lights you'll see that the outer ring is actually quite bright. Just not at the angle you normally view them at. If only they weren't sealed it'd be an easy fix. Anyway they look great once the light level drops. |

Not the best picture but should give you idea. Apologies for clutter on the plate as I am on phone. [IMG]http://i68.tinypic.com/14tn593.jpg[/IMG] There is no LEDs out there which make the outer rings as bright as inner as thats a design issue. Led sits under the inner halo and lit the outer ring via the optic loop. Its the principle of light refraction which shifts the light onto outer ring and hence less bright. I have tried different ones before keeping these ones. Mind you that my mrs has 40w led on her x1 but they are not as bright as this one. So lots of variation out there.

The left led in that photo was 40w led advertise on ebay. However in real life its more of 20w and hyped on ebay.
