i can get them and i have but they look nothing like the pics, by default a ccfl tube at any color or temp will look much brighter then oem fiberoptic, and more so after some use, all colored angel eyes change color once they are broken in except for blue, red will start as red but after a while it turns into a pink'ish shade of red etc.

if you want a true OEM look wait for the new orion's which are constructed just like the OEM and will retain their original color forever.

ive had the ebay orange ones on my m3 for a couple weeks now. imo they look better than the blue/white ones, but dont match OEM color 100%. I'm waiting for them to "break in" before i take comparison pics between them and my e39 -- they should start matching up closer as they get older.

i posted a couple of pics comparing them to the blue/white ones, if you search for posts made by me you'll find them.

matching ccfl to fiberoptics is impossible, break in will only amplify the difference, you cant make rubber look like steel type of thing.
