ok...this is going to be a project. or maybe i can seal some of the wasted light inside the housing

 

It is deff possible its just might have to pry open the headlight to some how customize the way the light enters the angel eye spectrum thing anything is possible i will deff keep trying hopefully by this weekend i should have dem done

 

the pre-lci headlight angels are limited by their design. it's pretty much shining a "flashlight" into some sort of fiberlight optic. i believe the stock bulb puts out about 10 watts. on the other hand, the LCI angel eye uses an H8 connection and burn about 35 watts when on full power in DRL. the LCI headlight angels are designed with a reflector to project the direct light farther out. the outter rings still get lights from a fiber light optic cable, hence it is dimmer and will never be the same brightness as the inner ring.

the HID consumes about 35 watts and actually put out less heat than a 35 watts halogen bulb. however, be careful with the wires since the HID will take in massive spike of current initially. this might burn the wire if the wire guage is not thick enought to handle the current. this is a major reason why aftermarket HID should be installed using a relay that can handle the large current since OEM will cheap out and use the smallest wires they can get away with. the problem may not be immediate but can manifest itself later and can be very costly! another thing, the LCI housing for the H8 bulb is very heat resistant--almost ceramic? the pre-LCI is a small halogen bulb (10 watts) shining into some sort of light tube. if an HID 35 watts is retrofitted there...i'm not sure how the plastic surrounding will handle the large amount of heat. the HID bulb is also a bit longer than a typical halogen bulb. by all means hope it doesn't hinder you from experimenting those are some of the things i observed from playing with the pre-LCI headlights and the recently installed HID LCI headlights angel eyes.
