Hi All,
I know there have been loads of chatter about Angel Eyes in the forums but I wanted to give some initial feedback of the DTec v7 lights and about the folks from e92-lighting.com.
First I want to thanks to say Derrick from e92-lighting for giving excellent customer service and helping me out in a pinch. Shipping was swift and even received the lights at a discounted rate.
Communication using their live chat services was fluid an convenient during the installation. To my surprise, I also received a follow up call from Derrick after claiming trouble with my install.
During my install, I wasn't able to get one of the lights to fit the properly with the heat sink facing up (both left and right side). Tried for hours and ended up damaging two of the LEDs during the process. Derrick from e92 immediately sent me a replacement at no extra cost.
A few days later, the replacement arrived was installed in minutes (fit like a glove). It seems one of the cogs were slightly larger than the house in the X5. I'm not an expert on fabrication but I know these things can happen. No big deal.

Now for the performance... So far, I'm happy with the DTecs. These lights are bright! At night I observed they are slightly cooler than Xenon HID but look factory (like how it should). Without seeing a 2012 + side by side, I'd say they look the same (but I know you can't compare). At night, I can't help by say, wow! What a difference... Even the wife was impressed.
In the mean time, here is an initial pic taken from an iphone 5 during an overcast morning. I'll try to take some more using a proper camera later.
Fade in/ Fade Out feature: As described, the lights fade on like the OEM. During shut down, the lights seem to have a very tiny pulsation towards the end (its very fast). This is not a game changer by any means but wanted to point out their website states "does not flicker at all". I'll follow up with a video when I have a chance.
Long terms impressions will follow. So far, so good.
