Best Cheapest bulbs for Angel Eyes?

Coupeit88 · 02-06-2014, 04:55 PM

Thinking about making the switch to my 335. I still have the stock yellowish lights on my car. Want to know what some of you guys can recommend.

Fog Lights to if you can.

Mtec or Lux are the two popular brands. I have Mtec sitting at home I need to install tomorrow.

Coupeit88 · 02-06-2014, 05:22 PM

Link where I can get them?

I oredered these from amazon, but maybe I made a mistake?

Do you want the best? Or do you want the cheapest? Because they are two totally different bulbs.

Coupeit88 · 02-06-2014, 05:30 PM

well I want the best cheapest ones I could find. I know if I want the best I'm looking at a couple hundred but anything below 75$ dollars is good, just the best out of that price range.

"Best" for cheap are GP thunders

There is a huge gap between good ones and not so good ones though

Come up a little more and the 40W LED Angel Eye Plug and Play kit is arguably the best for it's price point.

Fog Lights you gotta go HID but if you cheap out on an HID kit it will likely fail and or throw error codes.

Compared to the ones you bought on amazon these would be nearly double the output. For reference we stopped selling the 20W version over a year ago.

We also have a 60 Watt version which is a little brighter then this 40 Watt. We will be trying to phase out the 40 Watt soon as the 60W are the new kid on the block.

Buy MTec.

I had other bulbs on my car and after about three weeks they started causing the door open warning to occur.

Some cheaper LED Angel Eyes will cause door chime issues.
The MTec units do not, as far as i can tell. None yet on my car.
YMMV, but cheap is not necessarily good.

Take it from a guy that had to swap out cheaper units twice.

Mtec V4

I went with these. No codes. They look good to me. I'd love the insanely detailed ones, but that would require new headlights.

Sonic Tuning
$145.00

You will be impressed. Lux is a waste of money in my mind.

Probably take about an hour.
