I found out difference between pre-LCI (04-07) and LCI(08~).

I wanted angel eyes work as DRL on my car.. So I always turn my light on ' parking lamp ' .

But then I realized it isn't bright and visible as much as LCI's angel eye as a DRL.

my question is... is there any way I could make my angel eyes brighter and increase visibilty somehow?

PLease let me know.. if u have any idea.... thanks!

LCI and pre-LCI would not work with each other. I'm trying to find a solution for the pre-LCI.
