Thank you I appreciate it!
also I have a question for you GENEaTALS. Do you prefer the yellow rings for the angel eyes or the white?

Havent found a bright enough angel eye that I like. Like the LCI models have.

I like how you can see the yellow rings from far away during the day.

Really? I was thinking the yellowish rings were disappointingly not visible from a long distance.

It's personal preference...I prefer the white AE's over the stock yellow-ish ones. White is not as bright, but IMO looks better

You guys might be confusing two different things here. The angel eyes on the pre-LCI cars are dim and people upgrade them to brighter and whiter bulbs like the ones from CustomAngelEyes.com called AngeliBrights or the Predator Ice ones from Umnitza. The angel eyes on the LCI cars are really bright and they're used as daytime running lights.
You can upgrade the AE bulbs on the pre-LCI cars to be brighter but there's nothing out there that makes them as bright as the ones on the LCI cars.
