What's cool to you?

I have factory xenons with angel eyes and that's cool enough for me.

The more I think about it i think you're right, The factory lighting is pretty cool. I was out with the car last night driving some back roads and the lighting was excellent and it is beautiful with the angle eyes. Thanks for your opinion.

Thanks, I'll try them out. I was afraid to make changes because these models are known for lighting plug issues. Please send pictures if possible and a link or part #

I got the LUX H8 189 and they were straightforward. Unplug old ones, put in new ones and done. No codes or anything.

I was driving around at night with the headlights off and just the halos and people think its pretty cool. Would be cooler if the halos were pulsating or something.

LED ones would just be brighter is all or different color.

I changed the bulb one time and its just a regular friggin' light bulb.
