gonna be a row on here soon regarding Angel rings lol

Not from me there won't be, I don't give a sh*t what people think ;) For info though SE ::) rings are and were never going to improve light output, they are for looking "chavvy" and to replace sidelights only ;) And Angus, you know what size rings right? :P

NanaALZ, people should really do their homework before having a pop at people who have angel eyes.

I guess its similar to the Lexus lights debate, the only difference being that Angel eyes aren't a fail 8)

Obviously each to their own but IMO angel eyes are a modern-fad found on BMW's, it's a world away from a 90's Vauxhall. Same as chrome spinners, alloys with polished lips and jap bodykits. They just don't do the car justice. Like a granny wearing a thong.

But each to their own.

6000 will look crisper and blue! but TBH! the 4300k will be better in rain/fog etc! a yellow spectrum always dose!

Im looking at going proper 90s and making the car look like ive been on the continent and having yellow tints on the head lights, so this may dull the lights a bit, thats why I went with 4300, plus blue tinge through yellow tint may look bit green lol

Mmmm..HID (no brainer)...Angel eyes (no brainer)...and I have no brains!!..you only have to look at Mr V's avatar to see that aftermarker (1llusion style) angel eyes look amazing on the car...even if you don't want to be a Chav (like me) and actually switch them on!...they look good switched off!
