angel eye questionand

I kinda searched but didnt really find any comparisons. I am looking to get angel eyes and I wanted the best quality ones. I heard that most of them either burnout very quickly or melt. I was looking at lux 4.0/5.0 im not sure between the difference between the two and also if theres a better quality and looking one. Help me out guys!

There's a million threads, but I'm sure you already knew that

For the coupe, HID is the brightest, probably followed by LED then halogen replacements.
I personally went HID in 20,000K because I wanted a blueish tint and bright halo's.
LED and bulbs are easiest to swap in and out with no codes.
You can get a harness for halogen bulbs that brighten them up all the time, but if I'm spending that much for a harness I'd rather go HID.
HID doesn't distribute light properly, the middle ring is always brighter due to it being a DRL. I believe LED and halogen put out the light a little more even, but don't quote me on that...

AngeliBright's are a 6000K LED system, that is a true plug and play set up.

More info and pricing can be found here

Here are some pictures of the angelibrights:

For the coupes, you will need the LUX H8 instead. Here are some of the pics for this---

Since you're located in Florida, I would recommend the OSS Designs setup:

Been busy w/ my second job but they're looking real good on your car, much better than the previous H3 GP Thunder bulbs with the coating which melted/flaked off

Got some new LED upgrades heading out to OSS btw. He should be hitting you up soon. If you want to test out some new High-Powered LED rear turn signal conversion, let me know. Amber or Pure White 6k is available but I'll have to send them out separately.

You guys have turn signals now? I got the Halos upgraded with you and Luis, and want something that looks better than the amber bulbs (parking/turn lights) Is that what you guys are talking about?

Sorry to be OT.
