Review: Dtec E90 Lci Halogen Angel Eyes

uber · 02-13-2013, 08:48 PM

Hi there, I just bought and installed these: http://www.e92-lighting.com/products...V1-1211-0.html

I was originally going to buy some cheap RD LEDs, but I decided to go for this since it was 10w.

This is what came inside. I thought the hand drivers were pretty useful. Pretty much all I did was take off the wheel liner and did a simple install. The lights... very good build quality. They felt very solid. I actually managed to get my hands on some RD LEDs and they were complete crap; plastic body painted chrome. The dtecs actually have a heat sink.

Here are pictures of what they look like installed:

I took the first picture around 4pm in California with quite a bit of sun out.

My thoughts on these are that these are pretty good quality for the price. It's bright as well, but I have nothing to compare it to other than the stock. I wish I snapped a picture at night time with one side halogen and the other side the 10w LEDs, but the LEDs are noticeable brighter (not just whiter). Overall I would say I'm satisfied with this purchase.

I just installed mine - here are some comparison pics with the original halogens...

different ISO levels:

It would be nice if they were a bit brighter, but they are much better than stock!

Info on flicker, how does the light turn on/off (compared to gradual on/off in OEM), radio buzzing or line-in buzz ?

This is considerably cheaper than mtec v4, anybody has an idea of how it compares ?
