Led angel eyes weak

I have a 530d e60 pre lci with the halogen type headlight. I put in led for the angel eyes that look great at night but very week in the daylight practically invisible. Is ther anyway around this because the only time u can see the angel eyes it's to dark and u need the dipped beam on was thinking of putting the stock bulbs back in not sure if they would be much better. Any pictures of LEDs or stock would be appreciated preferably in daylight. Thanks

Unfortunately, there is no "good" solution for the e60 Pre-LCI halogen lights. They're just very weak AE's. If you really want bright angel eyes, you might want to investigate building a custom LED ring solution.

If you don't mind coding, these are known to be very bright 194-type LED bulbs. I cannot promise they will be "error-free" or that they will fit, but I can promise you that V-LEDs has a very good return policy, so if they don't work, just return them.

I cant promise they will be perfect, I've only seen a handful of pre LCI e60s with halogens here in the states.

but good luck, and just remember that you need a total of four bulbs--two sets!
