There are several options for angel eyes: PIAA, Umnitza Predator Ice and CustomAngelEyes AngeliBright; in ascending order of cost. PIAA is probably the least bright and I think the AngeliBright v3 is a bit brighter than the Predator Ice v2.1 althought I'm not sure. The AngeliBright definitely costs more. I'm not sure about the Kelvin rating but I think they're about 5000K to 6000K, not sure about 8000K.

As for upgrading your lowbeam bulbs, I think Umnitza carries 8000K bulbs but not sure which brand. I know you can also get Hella or Philip Ultinon bulbs. I'm upgrading mine to 6000K (I think Philips) but waiting for my eurospec headlights to arrive from Germany.

Where did you order the Euro-spec headlights (post 09/05 production I assume) from and for how much?
