first you said it's pmb when people already clearly stated that's "HID", then you said led is enough. hmmmm..... you don't read and you are just hate.

the e92 eyes use an h8 bulb. i went out and bought some generic H8 hyper white bulb thinking it would be simply swapping out the bulb. i was wrong. error message prompt up. so i went out and got some different name brand H8 hyperwhite bulbs, and still the error goes off. i decide to use my HID and that didnt work. i came across an Mtec HID kit and decided to give it a shot. after plugging in the bulb, i unlock my car and the bulb started to flicker. i guess the safety light doesnt give out enough power for it to stay on. as soon as i started my car the bulb turned on again (my daylight running light). so i guess they do work, but the safety light will not. now i am stuck here with a decision. these HID bulb gets too hot i'm scare it will melt something. i do not have then on for daily driving. if anyone is willing to take the risk to do this, i will gladly install it for them. i think i will find an alternative route to do this. plus H8 bulb is not a common bulb here in the US.

led for e92 eyes will never be bright. the e90 eyes are a direct contact with the halos therefore it will be bright. for e92 they are not direct contact, they are reflection of the light. thats why if you notice the eyes for e92, the inner ring is brighter than the outter ring.

nice job Long! but i think there's too big of a difference in terms of brightness between the inner and outer "eyes"... but as you have explained, i guess there's not much you could do about that.
