Domo arigato, Mr Roboto?

Sorry had to

Thanks gents. Yes if you are into bright lights, these are a great mod. The HID AEs as DRLs are so bright and striking.

I think you might have your acronyms confused. AE stands for angel eyes. DRL is daylight running lights. So you're actually trying to compare PIAA's halogen bulb to John's HID (high intensity discharge) angel eyes.

Without a doubt, the HID AE's are much brighter.

I saw Scott's HID AE in person this past weekend. They are bright and look very cool. I wish I had LCI headlights.

Thanks. I really am blown away by how bright and stunning the HID AEs are. They really showcase the angel eyes.

I have been debating getting the HID reverse lights but my LED reverse lights are already pure white and pretty bright. But it is tempting.

Where'd you get your LED reverse lights from?
