Trinity Autosport has the Mycarr brand angel eyes for 99 bucks and free shipping. I just installed them on my car last week and they are way better than stock. You really cant do much better for the price. They are not as bright as other ones ive seen but you would have to spend a bit more for better ones. They are plug and play and super easy to install!

i believe Angelibright( or predetor eyes) are still the best brands, but it's too expensive(for me). I got mine from Brabusamg for $85(free delivery and installation) or PM nerweezy, he gives good deals too.

Do you have to remove the headlights to install these?

there is a thread showing how to do it without removing the headlights but it will save you a lot of headaches if you just remove the headlights. its pretty easy to do. you need a torx wrench and a long scredriver and thats it.

Don't recommend removing the headlight...it's a pain reinstalling and aligning the headlights back into factory position

well if someone is somewhat mechanically inclined and has some experience working on cars it is easy to do if you take note of its factory position with pictures or whatever.It does take some wiggling and jiggling getting the light in and out but....if you arent sure about a task like this I would recommend having it done somewhere. IMO
