If I had LED's I would pass just because you already paid 2k for those lights lol


Also, keep in mind I have heard these lights are insanely bright. Not sure if that has been addressed with a dim function but I would look into that. One of my friend's knows a guy with the Icon lights and they are almost 3 times brighter than OEM, it actually is hard to look at in person from too close (and gets many oncoming high beam "courtesy flashes" at night)
The only thing questionable about them is they don't light up when you unlock the car as courtesy lights or when you press unlock on the key fob even if the car is already unlocked. I inquired about these lights and received the same email back posted already about all the different options and costs. The only time they light up is when you actually turn the ignition on which I don't care for but they do look extraordinary dare I say better than factory LED's : I love them I may do this at some point. I have blacked out headlights with LED upgrade rings from Oneighty and that cost $1,500. So pricing for these is not really that out of whack with Oneighty upgrade I did on my 335i. I would love to see these in person before making a decision. Hopefully someone at Bimmerfest East has them for me to check out. That may just push me over the edge
