My MyCarr Angel Eyes appear to be dimmer than the stock yellow Angel Eyes. I assume this is not supposed to be the case? I'll take a picture when it gets dark out shortly.

i got those too and all I got to say is what a P.O.S.! it is.
during the day/dusk you can barely, and I mean BARELY see it on. and at night the xenons pretty much cancel them out.

They suck. Gp thunders or hid all the way!
Well damn. I thought I had researched this purchase a bit and it seemed that most people were happy with the MyCarr AE's as a good cheaper route to better Angel Eyes. I don't think I've heard of GP Thunders. How much are HID Angel Eyes?

I just checked out the MyCarr's at night and they appear to be the same brightness as the yellow stock bulbs. I am actually trying to decide if I like the stock bulbs better and it's not really because of the brightness (though I am disappointed). I think I like the way the stock yellow looks on my Black Sapphire car.

anything out there is brighter than stock lol
That's what I would have thought, but these honestly don't appear too bright. Maybe my mind is playing tricks on me as a result of the different color, but they do not appear brighter. I actually have stock on one side and MyCarr on the other side right now. I happened to be taking my car to the dealer so I asked if they would install these for me and they did one side and then realized that they should be charging for it and called me to ask and I declined to pay. So I have a good comparison right now. Unfortunately, I can't seem to capture a good photo using my phone. Both headlights just appear blurry. I'm sure there are some settings that should be changed.
