led angel eyes

I'm looking for a led angel eye kit. i dont really need them to be brighter, i just want them to be whiter. I know about the lux kits but I can't see spending $250 for them. and I know that I don't want a eBay kit. so my question is, is there any kit in between? I read about the BMS kits not being 1 series specific but that was from a year old thread.

The LUX are the brightest option on the market. If you are looking for something more affordable and just want to change the color, take a look at the WeissLicht LED angel eye upgrade. These are an affordable plug and play solution to getting rid of the yellow color

I just went through the same process and ended up buying the Lux after trying Weisslicht and eBay. I recommend LUX all the way if you want LEDs. A far cheaper solution (white) is to buy the halogen white lights from Stealth Auto. Good luck

FYI...I forgot to mention the Weisslicht set I tried was the original. I believe they have a new version which could be brighter. The original does not light up the second halo.

If you are looking for something to be about the same brightness as the stock bulbs then i would recommend the LUX Angel eyes. Other solutions will give you a good color, but they will be dimmer and often times harder to see in the daytime. LUX H8 V3 angel eyes is still the brightest LED Angel eye system on the market to date

Get the Lux. Totally worth the money. You've already spent a fortune on the car - she's worth the little bit extra for good bulbs.

WAY longer than any halogen replacement and probably longer than any Ebay or cheaper LED solution....GET THE LUX, they cost more for a good reason.
