I'm considering ordering the depo's, these LEDs for the AE and maybe an HID kit (or at least 6000K Halogens). I just hate the yellow AE look.
I agree on hating the yellow AE look. I think once they have the Bright white AE's and the HID's come stock with it I would buy it. I hate when a company sells something then says..."oh you can swap out these parts to make it look better" Sell that !@#$ in it if you want more buys.

Still working on it, we tried some generic LED bulbs but the end result was not desirable. Looking on getting some specialized LEDs for more even light distribution in the rings.

Stay tuned

I would think LEDs like I posted would be great. They only have 2 LEDs pointing directly into the AE's and are def bright.... but they cost $20/pair so with 4 per light and 4 lights??... that is 8 pairs for $160. Ouch..

Anyway I'd still buy them, with the HIDs too.

Sounds great. Let us know when you will have these. I want to buy them asap but not till the HID/Rings come with it. I would like 8k rings with 6k or more HIDs so you can see the rings even with the HIDs in. As I'm typing this i'm becoming unsure. Do you guys think it would look shitty seeing the rings when the HIDs were on. Would it look better if they were the same so that they mesh? And of course the invisibulbs for the turn signals.

Same about waiting for HIDS for AEs. Looking for a 4300k option for the bulbs and 6000k for the AEs.

I would look into LED blinkers... much nicer looking and brighter
