Upgrading front angel eye LEDs

Has anyone upgraded their front angel eye LEDs to match the latest BMW angel eyes (super bright!)
Seen these on ebay, anyone used them or anything similar?

I've had 3W ones, replaced by 5W ones when they failed (HIDs 4U)
The strobing on starting the car can be stopped by turning off the cold bulb check with a scanner but if these are 10W as advertised I don't understand why they would as the OEM sidelights bulbs are also 10W.
My 5W ones look identical to those and are half the price.

I was going to order the ones in the above link having previously been considering the 6W Mtech ones then spotted these:

They look the same and the only difference I can see in the description is that they say they are 7,000K rather than 6,000K. I'd prefer 6,000K but suspect they are the same and the price is more palatable so I went for it.
I'll let you know how they are though pictures are probably not much use due to exposure times etc. I'd be happy to take some daytime ones if it helps though.

I fitted a set of led angel eye bulbs from hids4u two days ago. Piece off pee pee to fit and haven't noticed any of the strobing that people have mentioned.
Just seems to do exactly what I want it to, and well worth the money in my opinion.

I'd be interested to hear how you get on with these, I'm just looking at upgrading mine and also fitting HID's.
