Lightbulb

I am VERY pleased with this "lighting solution". Seeing that it is much more than just bulbs. I was so disappointed coming from my e65 to the F01 having to look at the pissy looking halogen Eyes! I had to remedy that sh1t immediately.
Like most, I tried various 'HID-Type Halogen bulbs. They barely looked better and are typically less bright.
I had the Mtec AEs in my e65 I purchased from e92lighting/Derrick and were quite pleased with them. But when I installed these v2 AEs in my F01, I new I was in for something special when I fired them up and noticed the light output on my garage wall!

So I can honestly and easily state that based on my extensive search and experience, this is the BEST AE solution short of retrofitting some 2013 light assembly in our cars!

For comparison; Side-by-Side install pics. And those are HOEN bulbs (left) fyi!





Now for direct sun-light pics (which is the most important right?)








Something equally important to me was/is "heat output" of the components enclosed inside the stock light housing: The LED bulbs, wiring and drivers. I had already been monitoring the wiring for signs of 'burning and overheating' or even smells of burning. As of yesterday or @ 2 weeks later I am happy to report everything looks great inside and zero signs of burning or overheating! I run my DRLs everyday. I snapped the following pics of my install:






Of additional note; The entire kit/items are very well made! Nothing flimsy or shody connectors.
