Just got my Angel Eyes after being shipped 9 days ago.[/u] :thumbsdown: thanks to yours truly-USPO! Anyway, wanted to post some pics and say that I'm not impressed after costing $290.00, but it's another added mod that I can say I have. I don't really think they're that bright although it resembles H.I.D. in whiteness not brightness. The simple truth about the install is that the front end of your car doesn't have to come off, and niether do your headlamps 
It took me 30 minutes to do both sides and that included me taking the pictures 
The trick is to have the right tools for the job - 2 sets of needle nose pliers, one that is 6 inches and the other 11 inches in length - and electrical tape for attaching to the bulb so that you can grip it better and reduce the scratches.The first step is to remove the round lid that I already took off by twisting off. Then, your DRL [TWIST OFF] by hand and wrap it up in something so it doesn't get touched by your oily hands - just put it to the side no need to remove it completly.
Then, use either the long or short pliers to twist the bulb using light pressure to the left as shown in the picture and pull it out gently - then disconect it by pulling the harness out with the pliers if you can't by hand.
Next, Wrap your new bulb with electrical tape or any thing that will hold so that you get a good grip on it when you put it back in.
Next, reconect the harness then, reinsert new bulb and twist to the right to lock it in place. Be advised that this is the trickiest part about doing this install. You must insert it fully and and make sure you lock it properly by twisting it a little at a time. Be patient on this part!
Last, reinsert your DRL by twisting back on, then recap the opening with the round lid and you're done!
PICS OF INSTALL
Sorry I forgot to do the before pics but you know what they look like :thumbsdown: 
For anyone interested in getting there Angel Eyes installed I will do it for free if you make the trip to my house on a weekend. Let me know if anyone is interested I live in Bakersfield, CA. If not, I guess it was just as easy for you to do.

I'm sorry,
I was supposed to post it in the DIY but got confused being that it was my first time. Also, I saw the one on the link but that requires the headlight to be removed my doesn't. That's why I chose to post it for people that don't want to take all day on a minor project.I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to tell the difference between the V1.0 and V2.0 because it doesn't say it on the bulb itself. One other thing, is anyone having problems with flashing when you start your car?
The offer still stands for anyone interested just contact me.

I wish I found your post earlier. I just installed mine this afternoon. The headlights were a pain in the a** to remove.
Getting that headlight out was a serious chore but once out, it was easy. AIB V.2 are installed and happy with the results. The modding bug has started again so this could get exspensive again!

No offense, but red is not that hot looking. I like the White or even blue.
