Do you have those in HID? Or led? The first one looks bright. Is it led?

 

So the Spyders you buy the halogen (H9 bulb) version then a conversion kit below. The pictures show the Xenon to Xenon kit. Yes the omega ring is LED ( day time running lights) and bright. Both Halogen to Halogen and Xenon to Xenon kits have them.

I bought a set of Spyder off of eBay and have had good luck with them. My 2013 R56s originally had halogen lights and I replaced then with the halogen version of the Spyder lights in the above ECS post. I replaced the halogen bulbs with HID bulbs and ballast and have had zero issues. I highly recommend going through eBay. The lights I purchased are identical to what the vendors sell, but at half the price.

There is a lot of good information in this thread: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...013-coupe.html

That thread was very influential in my decision making process.
