The topic probably got ur attention.

Ok. I tried to put HID angel eyes. I got some H3 bulbs, cut the factory angel eyes to make it fit, wired everything up and fired it up. That moment was so anxious and exciting but came to a point when I went to the front of the car, I was quite disappointed. The inner rings was about 4 times brighter than the outer ring. 6000K hids made the outer ring amberish in color and the inner ring was ok white. Might need at least 8000K to make it happen. My conclusion is stick with the LED angel eyes and you'll be much happier.
