I have had the white Angel Eyes for some time and replaced my center Halogen bulbs with Umnitza's Preditor Xenix Hyper Match High Beams. These lights are still yellow looking in relation to my White Angel Eyes. I should have done more research before I purchased.

Can someone tell me what size bulbs are needed for the fogs and the High Beams, and what color Intensity do I need to match the white Angel Eyes. 6000?

Thanks

Yeah, 6000K is pretty close. I bought mine from member brabusw209amg (John). He's in the vendor classifieds, and I'm sure he can hook you up.

Not fully understanding...

Are you saying I should get 8000k high beams and fogs so they better match the aib's?

Or will they be bluer than my AIB's if i go above 6000k?

u already have the AIBS. thje AIBs actually look a little more yellow compared to the new MTEC V2 which is a tad brighter and a lot whiter.

As for high beams, i dont recommend HIDs for it. It's a waste of money but if you really want it, u also need to wire in relays since you share it with the DRL. Let's make it simple and get a nice bulb for it.

As from my PMs, I'll get u a package with everything nicely matched. You'll be happy. Fogs, go with 6000K.
