What did you end up going with for your fogs? Also did you finally decide on with the halos....Predator Xenix, Hoen, or GP Thunder?

I thought the GP Thunders where a tad bit brighter.
So the last picture I have there, has all GP Thunders across the board.

Great job, thanx for the pics. How do they look at night, with/without headlights?

GP Thunder 8500K Plasma White: those are the fogs, AE's or both?

Here are some night pics, it is kind of hard to take night pics so hopefully they can come across ok for you to see. I noticed that they are much brighter! I do like them and I will keep them like this.

Angel Eyes: GP Thunder 8500K
Fogs: GP Thunder 8500K

honestly i dont think it is that bright as AIB for non LCI.
I got aib on my car and when i took picture at night it was really bright.
When you take picture of angeleye with camera it will come out brighter but in reality it wont... I tried PIAA one and it was bright in pictures but not in real life.

Not much of a camera person so I did the best I could, I am sure I can set the camera up to be more directly in front of the headlight to blind the lens, but I was trying to offset it some by being a little higher and/or lower. I think they are quite bright and I am very happy with them.
For the price at $15.99 for a set so, $32.00 for both Angel Eyes and Fogs (4 bulbs total) and about $7.00 shipping it is far less then the $100+ I read about folks spending.
I will try next weekend to take some better pictures as I am out of town.
Regards,
TR.

The main lights are the Xenon HID-D1s bulbs, however the Fogs and the Angel Eyes are the H8 Halogens (35W).
So I only replaced the H8's.

I think you may have caught pics of a couple of UFO's hovering above the center and Passenger area of your car.
