Got some LED Halo bulbs in BLUE!!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=190302595911

Bought these - just like the RD and others, but great price out of the UK - ended up less than $80 shipped. They have Red, Blue and White - I got the blue ones and they are awesome - nice deep blue - totally getting a ticket, but they look so good!

I will post up some pics later, but check out this seller, way better deal than the 200 everyone has wanted for these and I got them in 5 days out of the UK.

Yes comes with the error cancelling thing, no errors, works great and pretty bright.

As far as I can tell, no matter the brand, all these LED ones are made in Taiwan and all seem to be exactly the same for $80 or for $200, so going to take my chances on the ones with less markup.

I will take some pics tonight, both daytime and night time.

Don't think so, but let me double check when I take some pics - didn't notice a difference last night with the headlights on or off.

Having issues getting a pic with the lights on - you can see them with the lights on, but on the camera it just comes out all white.

Here is a pic at dusk with just the parking lights on.

Oooo I like..those look awesome..hows the daytime visibility rob ? can you actually see them ? take some daytime pics for us ! I might just jump on these..im guessing the low beam kinda covers up the outer ring and looks white,while the inner ring looks blue..am I correct ? if it is that way,I dont think u should have any trouble with cops..

They seem to suffer from the same problem that most LED angel eyes suffer from. Not bright enough and nearly invisible outer ring unless you look at them from the "exactly perfect" angle.

True, I saw a 3er with oem bulbs today and I really like its brightest, how visible it is during daytime. Im going to put back on the stock bulbs.

The do suffer like most stuff where the outer ring isn't as bright as the inner ring, so you don't see them very well in the daytime. The inner is pretty bright during the day - I was suprised how blue it looks in the daytime. I was actually hoping it would be less noticable to the cops! I will take a pic when I get home tonight before it gets dark.

At night they are deep blue and the outers are very visable, even with the lights on you can see the blue very well, but can't get it to show up on the camera since the whole light just ends up being blindingly white on the pic.


I bought it form this seller md-campbell out of the uk on ebay - very prompt and easy to deal with - received them very well packaged in about 5 days.

This is the auction link http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...3AIT&viewitem= he always has a bunch up there in white, blue and red and it ends up being about $80 shipped.
