IF you bought LED Angel Eyes they are not likely to fry anything - the AE LEDs generate no heat ... though the holder may get warm!

I personally don't know the seller you mention - more info about what you bought would also help.

Those look EXACTLY like the pair I bought from John (brabus). They're not going to fry anything. The install is super simple, as long as you have at least one thumb. PM me if you need details, although I think I explained it somewhat in the link in your other thread. GL!

I tried both ways with the thumb and the other directions posted with the needle nose I only could find a 8 inch needle nose though. no matter which way I try though I get the first bulb out no problem but on both sides the angel eye buld wont move it is in there really tight anyone have any other ways to get it out.

2 Things:
1) those are the old RDash design. so they may not be all that bright
2) You have to remove your headlights to install them.
