It depends on the angle. From some angles the inner ring is brighter than the outer ring. Not a deal breaker for me.

alpine hids do look good, but there is a big thread on other bmw boards about the, seemingly, very high failure rate. worse to me, is the failure rate straight out of the box (dead ballast after dead ballast, redesign, more dead ballast) etc. after going through months of that thread, i cannot purchase that product. it just seams it is is not ready for general use.

Yes this was a problem for me. When I first got the lights, the passenger side ballast would occasionally go out, while I was driving, and stay off until I restarted the car. Alex replaced it for free, but it looked pretty dumb driving around with one ring, while I was waiting for the replacement to arrive.
Now I've had to send back one bulb for replacement, so right now I'm driving around with one HID, and one OEM bulb.
