I'm looking to upgrade my dull factory yellow angle Eyes to Bright white. I found a few on Ebay but the price varied from $50 to $300 a pair. Why such the big difference in price? Does any body recommendations on specific part numbers and what to stay away from?

Yer. there are a few factors..
Colour....eg 7000, or 80000
Quality.... How long they last
Factory... where they are made.
Design....Do you have halogens or xenons..(the more expensive)

also, do you have projector styled headlights or normal..

here are different quality made. The cheap ones will last you 6-8 months. Why bother with it? I sell 5W angel eyes and MTEC V2.1 angel eyes. They are both ONE OF THE BRIGHTEST out there!

Are these drop-in replacements or is there some retrofit work to be done? Do you have a link to them?
