Halo angel eyes aren't all that great to be honest. Even with a state of the art LUX kit the effect isn't that good in daylight.

Do you think its not worth getting a upgrade then.

?

They were never designed to be daytime lights, just side/parking lights so will never be that great in daylight....

Its worth of upgrading it to LCI halogen headlights. They look much better compared to pre-LCI halogens.

For the LED, search for crystal white thread on this forum. His led was brightest and priced reasonably well.

Not yet mate, and I am already retrofitting the xenons. I guess I will have to cancel it those LEDs.

Has anyone on here upgraded halogen halos on here,
Shall I keep my money and leave them as they are. as they are not installed its easier to do it before fitting.

They are still a decent upgrade in my opinion. Just don't expect miracles.

Makkan, quick question. Re your xenon retrofit. Are you installing headlamp washers aswell?

Yes, I am on that mission.
And sensors at later stage.

I bought 10w AE LEDs from the States and they look great in dull or overcast weather but they all but disappear in bright sunlight. Unless you're prepared to have the lights dismantled & the rings replaced with proper LEDs it's about the most you can expect
