How easy is it to replace the H8 angel eye bulbs? I'm thinking of upgrading them to something a bit whiter.

Get a set like these and have them match your xenons. Looks much better in my opinion.

In the coupe, they are fairly easy to replace - Will take 5 mins at most.

Found a few 4500K sets on Ebay for around £8 delivered, do you think they will do the job?

I put a set of 8500K bulbs in mine, which I got on US Ebay. like these

Since they are only $15, there will be no import duty or vat to pay.

I am not sure if the 4500K ones would be white enough.

Yep have to agree. The yellow angel eyes make your xenons look like ordinary halogen lights.

They were one of the first things I wanted to change on the car.

dxb335d · 04-24-2008, 11:51 AM
