Are PIAAs as bright as e92 stock?

Just curious, are the PIAAs for the E90 as bright as E92 stock angel eyes? If not is there anything that is as rbight or brighter than stock E92 angel eyes?

The reason I ask is because I haven't seen any of these aftermarket angel eyes for the E90 in person.

Thanks.

I haven't never seen them in person either.
However, my guess is the PIAA or other aftermarket angel eyes kits for the E90 are much much brighter than the stock E92 angel eyes.

No.... there is NO kit out there for the e90's that is as bright as the e92's. I dont expect there to be anything for a while either.

Are you guys serious?
The LUX2.0 E90 rings looks extremely white and bright in the pictures.
I mean I got to see E92 stock yellow rings before I changed them with a set of 7500k Plasma.
There weren't that bright with stock bulbs, and they are now extremely dim (and still a bit yellowish) with the 7500k plasma bulbs.

We can meet up and I can show you how PIAA looks like.

lets drag up this long gone thread. Now that Lux 4.0 are close to shipping out, how do you think they compare?

I've actually ordered a set, so after I install it, all of us in the bay area can meet up and compare our Lux, PIAAs, Brex, etc.

Here is a couple of daytime shots between Lux 3.0 and Brex.

But, if you use the DRL mode, the E92's are bright as hell in daylight. Once the lights are on, not so much.
