Hello Guys!

i need help to find a solution regarding my angeleyes...
i've my new ride since 2 month and i don't like the yellow effect from it.

i've travel around the forum but nothing for my case...
on angelibright website, always nothing for 08...

bulb is H8.

so,

i've already tested :
1/

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...234123&rd=1
this is an H8 with 18 leds.
works but don't light as i want ( FYI, in fog light it's UGLY don't try it)

2/

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...433412&rd=1
just an h8 with blue tint,
works but darker than oem yellow bulb

3/ i've found a chineese supplier for Xenon kits with h8 bulbs at low cost.
but i've seen that luminosity change between daylight position and low beam...
so i'm not sure that xenon will work....

Anyone can says me if you've found a solution or if you've tested xenon kits?

I NEED HELP

i wish you a nice day!

well i also want to know if there are options available for the facelift versions.

But i think H8 will look too blue-ish.
I more like the white tint matching the xenons...
H6 maybe?

Hi and thanks for your interest...

h8 is bulbtype and not depending of color temperature...

if xenon kits works well, i can help you to get it...

see you soon on the road ( we live in the same aera)

I'm on the same boat as you guys in search for a REAL solution for our lci angel eyes. I've tried HID. It works great but you will lose headlight functions. Check my previous thread for more 411. As of now, i only have GP Thunder 8500K Super White bulbs. It works but not as bright during daytime. It looks good at night time or at dusk.

If you want to be a guinea pig try these:

Keep us posted on your results. GL!
