Angel Eye Help

So, i've read about 100 threads on Angel Eyes, and they've confused me more than help me.

I'm looking for and LED angel that can be seen clearly during the day, that won't overheat, and most importantly, WILL NOT throw codes.

Also looking for the best LED at the best price.

From my research, I've heard MTEC v2 or LUX H8.

Welcoming opinions....

What kind of car do you drive? If it's an E92, LUX H8 or AIB from EAS would be good, or if you have an '09+ E90, LUX H8 is really you're only option...if it's a pre-'09 E90, LUX 5.0 is the way to go...any of these applications will run you $225-$300 but they're the best without spending $550 for an OSS kit that you have to send away your headlights for.

I suppose I forgot to include that very important piece of info. It's a 2008 (pre-LCI) e90 (335i) with the active xenons.

How do the LUX 5.0 compare with the MTEC VER2.1?

I've heard that the LUX 5.0 are the best in the business for the pre-LCI E90...pretty well priced too

You can't go wrong with the MTEC E90 LED angel eye units. OSS is another option if it's within your budget
