Angel Eyes

Post by Bargain Bucket » Mon Dec 05, 2011 7:32 pm

So my new (to me) facelift has manufacturer fitted HID headlamps. These make the angel eyes look rubbish with their yellow glow. Any recomendations on how to get the same HID style light from them? I see some complete CFL or LED replacements on eBay. Looking for recomendations on people's own experiences please.

Thanks.

I fitted the HIDS4U kit. Made a vast improvement. White LED.
