Speaking of which, I have noticed that the rearview appearence of white angel eyes is not so unique then it was when they were amber/golden.

It seems to me that the white light emitted from newer Angeleyes kind of blur out when they re in distance, while the golden/yellow ones arent.

I have noticed that last evening, when I passed an F30 which was driving on the right lane while I was being followed by an E90.

When the E90 was right next to F30 and I was about 150meters ahead of them I still could clearly see the Ringshape of the E90s AA while the AAs from the F30 kind of blurred out and all I saw was 2 white clouds....


What you guys think is it designwise or does it have to do with the different light energy emmited from LED and Halogen lamps?
I noticed this too, it's got to be a difference in wattage to the led considering the lux led upgrade on an e82 I've seen in person made the rings undefined at distance like the new LEDs are. I actually prefer the cleaner more pronounced amber ring for the clarity, but that's just personal preference.
