Anyone have reviews on the new BMS cree 4 LED angel eye upgrades?

messi · 02-13-2012, 08:03 AM

Looking for pics and reviews on these and how they compare to the other similarly priced kits like the City vision and even to the more exps kits like Lux and Mtec's?

Why go 4 watt when you have options for 10 Watt Cree. www.highperformancebulbs.com

The ones for the e90 I hear may need some customization to work well but the E92 I hear fits good no modifying required.

arent the bms using 4 leds per bulb as opposed to be 4 watt?

hamburglar · 02-13-2012, 12:51 PM

Just ordered them today and will post some pics once they come in

messi · 02-13-2012, 02:43 PM

great.

Got mine yesterday from BMS. This is my first set of angel eye upgrades so nothing to really compare them to, but they were easy to install and are much brighter and whiter than the OEMs. I think they look pretty good.

Luong · 02-14-2012, 11:26 AM

Just ordered a set too, I'm coming from an HID AE kit so I'll let you know how I feel once they're installed.

10 watt Cree bulbs are listed for 2008 or later E92. Any idea why the 2007 is excluded from this bulb? Anyone know what's the brightest error free LED out there for the 2007 E92?

dragazn · 02-14-2012, 02:30 PM

hm.. 4watt Cree vs 10watt Cree, how comes no 1 bought the 10watt yet???

335iFab · 02-14-2012, 02:35 PM

Any radio interference when they are on?

Cause 2007 are the devil in the lighting world.

It just got released a few days ago IIRC.

I got the 10Watt coming my way this week hopefully. I know a few other guys getting them too.

If I like them I'll keep them in my car and take some pics.

Ahhh, thanks for nothing then. Your response doesn't tell me squat, so I'll check you off the list of vendors I use.

messi · 02-14-2012, 04:20 PM

nice can't wait to hear the other reviews and see pics

You wouldnt be the first.

But I dont sell those anyway. I'm just trying them out for my personal car.

The 2007 could also be a misprint...all E92 Pre-LCI's use the same bulb for their angel eyes (H8), so that's what it seems like to me

It's not a misprint. HPB doesnt want to deal with the headache of 2007 models that are plagued with errors even with equipment that is 99% of the time error free.

If your car is coded it will fit and work. They will likely work with 2007 without coding however if they do error out they warned you they dont "fit" 2007 models. That was the method behind the madness

Have you received yours yet?

Ahhh, I see, makes sense. And it should be soon. I have a tracking number, and I paid for express shipping, on top of the fact that I live close to HPB, I should have them in time for a weekend in depth install/review.

why would you not like HID Ae kit?

Luong · 02-17-2012, 07:43 PM

Balast kept burning out or something else would eventually mess up on it. Got tired of constantly having to fix it. It's just easier to switch to a bulb option instead of a full HID kit.

samchoi604 · 02-17-2012, 08:42 PM

Can't wait to see some comparison of the new HPB 10 watt H8 angel eyes vs. LUX v3, which is still the benchmark these days.
