I am about to upgrade my front lighting and I have searched this forum as well as others but there seems to be a lot of problems with the hid a.e. But I also want my eyebrows to match. I would like to get thoughts and any first hand knowledge of what would be the best looking and have no problems. Thanks for your help in advance

LOL @ Simon, but help us help you by telling us your model year and type of headlights on your car. You should also look up member John@Motorcepts, that will help you find your mistake. That's all the help you'll get LOL. Good luck!

Okay, so short version. You can get plug and play AE bulb upgrades, either the Mtec 2.1 or that 5W solution that John@Motorcepts and Trinity is selling. Those are the easiest.
However, if you want the best angel eyes for your model, you'll need to go Orions by Umnitza. The install is the most difficult as it requires cutting open the headlights (cannot be baked open).
HID AE is not an option for you. You need to have LCI xenon to use that.
As for eyebrow upgrade. You will need to cut open the eyebrow compartment, and take out each LED and replace them individually.

Yeah I have seen multiple wright ups on what you have explained and seen pictures of these and the orions seem to match the led eyebrow on some and not others IMO and the 6000k fogs don't even look close in the pictures. So what I'm looking for is which LEDs matched the orions the best and also which temp lamp of conversion for the fogs so the whole front will look the same. Thanks for info though
