I am really annoyed by my H8 Leds (i got them from ebay, and they completeley s**k in daylight) and I want to upgrade. What would you guys choose, I want to look ok in the daylight but also in the night. Should I wait for the 20W Leds from Umnitza or should i get the xenon from John?

Gotta go with HID angel eyes from John. Did mine about a month ago and very happy with them. I'd always get jealous seeing the newer BMW's with bright angel eyes and my old LED 8W's just don't quite cut it. The HID's are very bright in sun and obnoxiously bright at night (but in a good way) Looked at the 20W but not sure how bright in direct sunlight 
Good luck to you.
P.S. These are my HID AE's in direct central cali sunlight

Thanks eyedoc, i was afraid that those will be too bright in the dark but I guess that it should look fine.
Can't wait to get my kit now
PS: Thanks for the picture, very nice looking!

Did Chris do that for you or sell you his old set? I love the extra bit of detail. It would look particularly nice if you have yellow scoops and calipers as well.
