Hey guys, i installed my new angel eyes today, they are more blue than i was expecting, but i quite like them, theyre 8000k and look very blue compared to original lights, do u think i should drop down to 6000k? are these even road legal in uk? Thanks.

4500K-6000K would get you a little closer to white

A bit on the blue side for me but not bad. I prefer a pure white match.

compleatly legal, its just red lights that you cant have up front, (oh, and the blue lights must not move/strobe etc...or represent/imitate a police car)

When did you trade the E60 for a Civic?

At least you're getting better MPG =)

I think over the standard its a big improvment! but i wouldnt have them that blue myself. perhaps one down from that would be just right.. im also in the UK, I would say that any old bill would now like you having things to blue, its just like having undercar blue neons.. there ilegal and they will fine you for them. and thats not looking like a police car in any way... how many police cars do you see with undercar neon kits lol
