So to summarise can you please post a picture or multiple pictures of the halo headlights in DRL mode as there is like 1 picture of this on the net and its from side on at night you can see a difference but its stupid the way the photo was took.

No promises but will try. Car is super dirty and had my eibach pro springs fitted today.

It will be an easy tell because on the photo the indicators are all different from the halo for the LCI and the Pre LCI xenon which is just LEDs so he won't fool me!!!

I see what you are saying. You stated that we code the car to fool that it has xenon kit. By doing that it will increase the voltage going to halo rings and they will be brighter.
Its excellent idea however following flaws;
1- There is physical difference b/w halo rings of xenon cars and non-xenon.
So simply by increasing voltage going to it (via xenon coding), it is not going to make massive difference.
2- If xenon headlights have bi-xenon, then your high beam H7 will have different PMW, and that may not work properly. Again, it require some work.
If I get time in the future, I may experiment. But I have no high hopes considering point 1.

These CREE kits are 6000k as they're LEDs and not as bright as Bi-Xenon but much brighter than Halos and you get a nice crisp white look.
Any thoughts on this? as I'm trying to find someone to fit it then its gonna happen and ill post the result.
See the LED kit here on eBay :

I think you can try this. You get 14 days return policy and you can return them if you do not like them.
At least that will resolve your headlight issue. But it may not be as bright as HID / xenons.
Edited:
Here is some feedback on these LEDs H7

So, answers is 'NO'!
Edit version 2: Low beam is very poor!
I would suggest you to continue this discussion on your other thread as we are hijacking OP's thread and I feel bit of guilty.
