Default Angel Eyes / Halo Rings (be nice please!)

So i know this is like a 50/50 topic. some beileve it should stay as a BMW thing and makes a car too ricey. But honestly I really like them regardless of what people say. Some people already distaste my car for being white AND black (my build thread thats incomplete --> https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...ck-it-out.html ).

But, as far as your knowledge goes is one better than the other. and is LED better than CCFL?
I like the Umnitza because i believe they are brighter and LED, but im leaning towards the other because they have a foglight set as well which i was interested in. Not sure if i want the fogs though or will fit honestly as i have upgraded to the ISF front bumper from option racing. Havent seen it yet or the fitment as its in the bodyshop and i get it back in a day or 2.

I found these, it looks like they will fit?

but kinda sucks cuz i wanted foglights done too, just that they dont have a set for those, i also found these:
http://www.automotivelightstore.com/...hthalokit.aspx
But they are CCFL, and those arent as good as LED and can burnout/fade i understand? What is your opinion?

Dude, you're in CA, get exled to do them with their own product. http://www.exledusa.com/exled-lexus-...angel-eye.html You can have them not be 2 color is you want. Also, exledshop.com (international store) has the front side reflector LEDs too, if you wanted to upgrade that.

I personally think that they look out of place. The DRL one looks pretty good on the umnitza website, but in my opinion, I cannot stand the one around the projector. As the product itself goes though, I have some LED Umnitza (Predator Orion V2's, I think) angel eyes in my M3 and they look great. Wiring was easy, and as of now, they are holding up. Ive had them on for about 20k miles.

I agree with Dylan.
Umnitza Orion V2's are the way to go.
You can come check mine out if you'd like. Daytime and night time, they are amazing.

Iv'e always liked them, but on a BMW. Go with what YOU like though. That is all that matters.

I think angel eyes look really nice.

its your car, so you should mod to how you like it. Either way, its going to great, much better than the ugly stock DRL.

I had the Umnitza Orion V2's on my M3 and loved them. They looked great day and night.

I am actually going to do this mod myself, its a bimmer thing, but i think they look really good on the IS. Let us know which route you go and how it turns out.

exledusa is in baldwin park, CA.. according to their website. TPC i think is their switchback module, so that would be an add-on. If no TPC, only 1 color. With TPC, 2 color.

Thanks guys for the great feedback/suggestions. I also found JLC lighting. Luckily i love in los angeles and there are many great installers around here with excellent products.

Looks like exledusa offers the red/white that you want. The difference between exled and all the other installers is the exled makes their own stuff and installs it. Other either make it but don't install (v-leds) or buy from others and install. In my opinion, exled is the way to go. Quality control is the best as everything is in-house.
