Ok, I have trawled through this site on many occasions and have not found any definitive information. What is the difference between the Angel Eyes in halogen headlights compared to Xenon headlights. I have Halogen lights and my angel eyes are very dull and not very well defined rings. I have seen many Xenon E60s with very bright, clearly defined rings. After looking around I have found countless companies selling led bulbs for upgrading E60 angel eyes but they just simply dont look like they would fit in my halogen lights. I have not however found and angel eye upgrades distinctively for halogen lights. What exactly is the difference in the two and how can I get brighter, clearer more visible rings for my car without changing the entire headlight?
Cheers.
Cheers.

The halogen headlights use a 194 bulb to light the halos whereas the new xenon equipped cars come with full H8 bulbs to light the halos. The halogen headlights are going to be much less bright because of this difference but we do offer high output LED replacement bulbs that would upgrade them to a more pure xenon white.
