ordered some LEDs for my p90s

i bought depo p90s with xenon's but the angel eyes were depressingly dim. I never even installed them but there was no way you would be able to see them during the day while driving so i had to do something about it. It took a while of searching to find the correct replacement bulb for the depos but i found something that should work:

im hoping they will work out and disperse the light evenly through the rings but i will keep you guys posted. This could be a cheap alternative for people that didnt buy the pre installed leds

Hate to break it to you, but the depressingly dim lights in your P90s will still be still be depressingly dim. Someone replaced his halogen angel eye bulbs with LEDs...and it still sucked. I think it looked even worse actually. I'll try to find the thread. The best solution is to get full LED upgrade rings from some place (again, found in the original thread). Not to dig on HPB, I'm sure their solution will help with brightness, but it won't be as good as the full LED ring replacement

Send them an email. We sell a lot of their products but not that stuff.

Most certainly, I know HPB sells brighter LEDs (partially because the inside of my car has been bathed in HPB LEDs ).

i figured if i went with super bright leds i would get that 4 glowing dot evect because the rings would not be able to distribute the light. time will tell guys. i get me car back from MAC tonight and the leds should be here tomorrow also so the headlights are going in tomorrow aswell. i guess i find out for sure then
