from the pics, the led versions don't show the individual leds too much, which is a positive imo

They show up like crazy during the daytime though, which for me is

Yea, thats what it looks like to me too. I would like to go with led's and not have to deal with the hassle of an inverter. I want something simple and if problems arise I can deal with quickly without getting someone to help me.

Doesn't it look like the orion ones are smoother?

It's strictly up to you, the CCFLs have more of a uniform look while the LEDs are a much more simplified kit and simply a different style. The LEDs will also not have any cold weather issues, but being in SoCal - that's not even a concern.

The pictures are intended to show the differences of LED and CCFL, videos back it up as well so you know exactly what you are getting.

Any way to get LED technology in a single strip ass opposed to using 30 bulbs?

Not with LEDs, but the CCFLs have a more uniform look without the gaps.

Hey Tom, which version mimics the OEM angel eyes on cars like the E92 3-series...? correct me if I'm wrong, but those seem to have more of a yellow tinge to them, and have less of an LED / xenon look to them...

I would prefer to get something that looks OEM or stock.... Thanks!

Sick write up.

Wish I had known about the MyCarr Led kit earlier, the cold start problem is a PITA in Chicago.
