TSiWRX Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Aesthetic, particularly if you're going with LED-based "Angel Eyes," which are many, many times less bright than CCFL-based "Daytime Demon Eyes." I actually use my CCFLs as low-powered nav-lighting when pulling out of my garage and driveway early in the AM, so as to not disturb the neighbors. But truly, they do absolutely *NOTHING* as night-time lighting. It's pure disco. <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moviemadness Posted February 27, 2006 Author Share Posted February 27, 2006 is that the same case for the orig. BMW ones as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWP-LegacyGT Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 it just looks cool. BMW does that because they're running out of ideas for the actual car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSiWRX Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 ^ RE: "ideas" --- To get back to moviemadness's question, yes, they're for decoration only, even on the OEM BMWs. Those OEM units are significantly less bright than CCFL-based aftermarkets that they're patterned after. <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
