I want to change my angel eyes from the stock yellow color to white. The bulb used now is an H8. Do I just look for an H8 bulb and replace it or do I need the whole HID conversion kit harness? Will the on board computer detect an error if I upgrade?

You can actually do either one. There are companies out there that offer HID kits for the car but the install is a bit more involved. You can also just go with an H8 Hyperwhite bulb replacement or an LED based kit like what we offer. The LED kit is the better solution IMO because you get a pure white output while most of the Hyperwhite bulbs still have a yellowish tint to them.

What does the LED based kit look like? Do you have a picture or website?

Can I go the LED route with pre-LCI adaptive bi-xenons? If so, what brand/ part number and where is a good placec to order them?
