I need to replace my angle eyes (bulb failure). Any suggestions one replacements that are more white like my Xenons than the yellowish hue of the stock lights?

I have the Angelibrights - v happy with my purchase. Pure white is best in my opinion tho a blue and red is avail also (pls note, may be illegal in certain states). Check them out online - great svc if you call them too, then can walk you through differences etc. The install was plug n play, no error issues and not that difficult of an install if you have small enough fingers. Note - I did mine without removing the headlights...

Try GP Thunder or Predator ICE as well. In addition to the colors stated above there is also Amber. However I got to tell you on a pre-LCI car if youre payin more then $100 for any angel eyes....youre getting ripped. They will never be as bright as LCI lights.....or at least not today's versions!!

i have ones for sale at $85 shipped a piece. However, there are several people working on modding the stock angel eyes to switch some LED bulbs with 9 LEDs in there so it will be bright as crazy. We need to find the correct resistors and make sure it doesnt melt. For now, the $85 one works fine. Need to do more research

Do adding Angel Eyes void any type of warranty's also do you need to worry about the wires melting or anything like that?

it depends on ur dealer. If the angel eye bulb caused a short in your electrical system, then yes. To be on the safe side, just take ur angel eye bulb out when u visit the dealers. It's a 10-minute job. I have sent u a PM for more info.

This is where it becomes important to buy from a reputed agency. Also - hold on to your old/original AEBs. Never know when they may come in handy....
