Which LED angel eyes should I get?
My 135 is going to be here in about a month so I've been doing a lot of reading around on here as to which LED angel eyes I should get and it looks like it's between the LUX and the WeissLicht so any feedback from you guys would be greatly appreciated

LUX. I dont have angel eyes, but from the pics these are far superior. Daylight visibility is the key with these aftermarket angel eye solutions, and LUX provides this from what I see in the pics, and from what everyone else says.

Where can I order the Alpine HID Angels ?
I did a search, and there is only feedback for the vendor, no thread regarding anyone currently selling them ?

thanks for your answer, Satalite.
Yes, they are illegal in Germany. But in Germany nearly all modifications are illegal. Its even illegal if you change the lighting of the license plate And the "Polizei" loves to punish you for things like that, BUT: No Risk, no Fun |

For Germans it may be illegal but for Armed Forces members many rules get bend. There are tons of American cars here that wouldn't see the Autobahn ever, but they are allowed due to bending of the rules.
Also every modification you do to your car has to be put into the Fahrzeugbrief(Car title) if you are german. I got the Alpine AEs |

arent those EXTREMELY bright?? I heard from another fellow member that they bother ohter cars, because they shine way too much... Thats the main reason why Im planning on getting the LUX ones, since I dont want to be the p***k behind you at night and dazzle everybody or the ones driving in the other sense lane... I feel that way it looks kinda ricer (at night) because of the excessive lighting...During daylight they look cool as sh*t tough, but its not my cup of tea to bother people at night...

Hey guys I have run GP Thunder 7500 and 8500 bulbs, HID angel eyes, and LUX. I'll be honest when I say the HID's were overwhelmingly bright. Even during the day when looked straight on looked really bright. At night I actually felt bad for the people in front me to the point that I decided to take them off.
As for LUX they looked AMAZING at night. No dimming with the headlights and looked very even and defined in both rings. But again I'll be honest when I say they looked bad during the day. They were BARELY visible. Especially if you go off angle just a bit they disappear really quickly. I'm getting the LS1 kit installed in my headlights from Bavarian Exclusive. I'll be sure to write up a detailed review with lots of pictures. I'm a fairly detail oriented type of person so I'll write up a comparison for all the angel eyes I have run with pros and cons of each. -Dave |

LUX if you don't want too bright

I have seen HIDs AEs and if you are looking something that is dazzling, go for it. It's just not for me. Kudos for the folks that engineered this marvel.
