Is it worth getting "Angel Eyes" over factory Xenon's?

shaunt · 10-11-2008, 07:56 PM

I've been looking through this forum for weeks now; looking for the best angel eyes but the prices seem to worry me. Are these 8500k white bulbs really that much better looking than our stock for only $120.00?

And if so, do you guys have any suggestions for the best quality bulbs for my 335i?

thanks

which LED angel eyes can be had for $120?

I know which LED angel eyes youre talking about, but I can't remember the name. I remember some daylight shots though, and they weren't that visible. I still think GP thunders are the best value for the money (they're seriously like $15-25 or something like that). The only reason people like it better than the stock angels is cause of the white color compared to the yellow. They'll never be as bright as stock though

The LED Angels that are out are PIAA, Belloff, and RD. GP Thunder 8500k is only $15.

The RD LED angel eyes are definitely not worth getting over the stock ones for however much they are

They are too blue (dare I say ricey) and literally invisible during the day. I had them, but returned them and switched back to my GP Thunder 8500K's, which was such a breath of fresh air

i have the gp thunders in a 135 and it doesnt look bright at all.. like it doesnt make a big difference comparing it to the oem ones

It depends on what color you are looking for. If you want something to match the OEM xenons, I would stick with a non-LED bulb upgrade like our Xenesis tru match. If you want the blue effect, the LED would be the best option as even the best halogen bulbs cannot get a real blue output.
