alright here it is...the new angel eyes from brabusw209amg. They are white led's and look really hot. This mod is by far the most frustrating. Getting the lights out with the 11in needle nose wasnt to hard but getting them back into place and screwing them in was frustrating. The wires from the headlights kept getting in my way. I got really lucky and popped the first one in with a flat head screw driver and was lucky enough to duplicate what i did on the next. The angel eye technology is pretty cool. I knew it was one bulb for 2 eyes but the way the light just shines at a reflector is pretty cool. Here are the before and after daytime pictures in my friends garage.

nicely done! wanna do mine? lol
tools made it easier, even my little hands were getting scratched up in that housing. I didnt take the housing out just used to the tools to reach into the housing. Those angel eye bulbs are down there pretty deep.

I wish there were more woman like you! 
Awesome job!!! I had a helluva time with mine. (Bigger hands) They don't seem as bright as yours or DKNewYorks as well. Might just be me. And you're right, those high beam wires made me crazy lol.

Yeah that mod is a pain in the butt for your hands. I had mine all scratched up. I wonder why your angel eyes look so bright...is it the camera? I'm waiting to see your tails!
