Hi guys,
There has been a few topics about getting bright Angeleyes, but from what I have tried myself, the results have been rather dissappointing.
I have non-Xenon headlights, hence can easily replace the W5W lightbulbs.
The replacement bulbs I have previously tried, some were too cheap with the blue colour fading away and the others with dissappointing brightness.
I have seen the following LED bulbs and am ondering if these would work or fit:

Only no.1 I believe as it has the glass end with the wires exposed I think the plastic ones will be too big

Hi,
I ordered one pair of H7's (and got a second pair free) and two pair of W5W blue vision sidelights
from Powerbulbs. Think the lot cost me ?42.
Definitely notice a difference on dipped and main and the W5W's make the angels a whiter light. Possibly too bright.
From the picture of the W5W's on ebay, the connectors look like those on W5W's I replaced. I would assume that if it is a W5W standard, they should fit a W5W socket.

The fitment on all of these (W5W) is the same, the only consern I had was rather the size where the front bulbs are, but if that is no issue, then I am very tempted to try 1 or 5.
I am just confused if the blue ones may be overkill for the Angeleyes? In that case I would stick to white.
I would also be opting for 4-LED option as a) LEDS are a lot more brighter and b) more LEDs, more brightness.
What do you guys say? If anyone agrees, I'll give it a go and share the experience with Photos.
