If you have an 08 like you state then it shouldn't take a 6w it should be an LCI model and take a H8 bulb for the angel eye.

the trinity LCI AE upgrade is an H8, 6W LED bulb replacement, take a browse thru the vendor classified section and you will see for yourself....

Oh duh yeah I use to have LED like this before I got Johns HID, forgot all about those. I wasn't too impressed with the daylight lighting, they look ok at night though. Super easy to install though, that is one great thing about them and they are pretty cheap.

did you have a 6W LED kit? Most LED kits will get washed out in daylight, aside from orion rings....if you bright in day and really bright at night, HID is definitely the way to go....

^you would get more assistance if you post if you want 19", 20", cast, forged, lip, no lip, etc....

also, along with your budget, we have a good amount of vendors here that have some great wheel selections, take a browse thru the vendor classified section...

i like the look of the style I posted. Is there a advanatage to having a lip or not. I want the factory color silver. Sorry i dont know alot about rims. im trying to avoid going to a local shop because they are idoits here where I live. There was a pretty popular brand over at the vw sites, i belive they were a name brand of hp's or something
