Another good question! You see if we were putting crappy LED based rings in the lights like BMW it would be rice. But since we took the design and imporved it so it is superior to the original product its not rice. BMW drivers actually replace their factory LED rings with these cathode rings since they look so much better.

There is no denying these look better then the factory BMW lights

oh...by no means am I debating that. These are by far better quality than the LED ones on a BMW. But since they were not originally designed for our cars, does that make it rice?

I'm interested, but wanted to know if I'm going to get flamed a couple months down the road.

As for price, I will tell you the same thing I told the Sedan guys the more people that get on the first run the cheaper.

25 first run- $269 per unit
50 first run- $225 per unit
100 first run- $199 per unit

I need a light before I can produce the kit though

If I can get a "loaner" light or if someone here in Atlanta can come by and let me take some precise measurements so my moldmaker can make a 3D CAD diagram it would just take a day or so.
I'm in.

Who cares...do what you like and what you want regardless...this isn't rice man. Rice is replacing headlight bulbs with 25 dollar xenon immitations or rebadging to what YOU don't have. This is called an accessory, with taste might I add, which is WHY its out of the rice realm.

With the High beam and HIDs (6000K HIDs) the rings are still very visable. Its hard to get an accurate picture but they are still visable.

Anyone got a picture of these on a BMW at night? I want to get a better feel for what they'd look like on vehicle. Looks pretty sweet though. Will you be able to make them in different colors?

If I live out of state, how do I get them installed? What kind of payment are you accepting? Do you have Affliate shops in the LA area?

Thank you =)

DDEs/Angel/Demon eyes/however you want to call them belong on high-end BMWs, originally on the 5 and 7-series to be exact. They would look ridiculous on a Japanese entry level import that doesn't even have elongated headlights, and I'm saying this because I've seen a G35 that had them (no, not your product in particular). But at least I give you props for improving the original product

I'd be totaly down for it, but thats a little too much money to spend right now. I have a "shopping" list of mods that take priority over this mod. I dont think I'd be far enough down my shoppng list for at least another two months.

I want to see them on a G35 before I decide, but it looks like a promising idea.
