Re: Angel Eyes LED Upgrade

its interesting you mentioned the strobing and have noticed when I unlock my e70 the halogen angel eyes start from a low dim and get brighter - as dimming is just switching on and off very quickly this is what those with LED angel eyes are showing - maybe they will start doing some proper dimmable ...
