I can personally endorse the angel eye upgrade I bought (and had installed) through Trinity Autosports. The one issue you may have is an pretty much any and all 'white' LED upgrades do tend to look a bit blue-ish. I like it though, it matches my xenons well. But whoever you decide to go with, just do it because it makes a real big difference.

am just curious, when you put on your xenon bulbs, did it exhibit any strobing effect ? like when u turn on the key, the bulb flickers like a disco strobe light for say around 5secs; and you have not started the engine yet, also the light switch is off.
No strobing, no problems what-so-ever, the kit installs as easy as replacing a bulb. You do not need to take out the headlight, but some find it easier because it is only a couple bolts to remove anyhow.
The other guy who posted about the AngeliBrights is right, they are bright - and I looked at them too, but I am more into subtlety, I like my mods to at least resemble something semi-stock so I went with the Trinity kit - your call though, tons of information about both on this site and Google. I don't think any angel eye kit out there has been accused of strobing - but I could be wrong.
