You'll get some second hand crystals off here for around £60. I bought angels for £130 for the pair. They work fine (apart from one of the adjuster motors). But they just look cheap....you can see that the halos are just 6 LED's. With the more expensive ones they look like a continuous halo of light.

Don't get angels. They are become more tacky as more people buy them, a bit like lexarse lights.
Stick with good old standard Crystals..

I had halo's on for a while, they look good at night on the right car but the light output is really bad and as said they can look a little cheap on the wrong car. Ive got masked crystals now so you should consider them and morettes aswell mate 
Also maybe think about other mods that improve the overall look of the car like sports bumpers, colour coding and a ph2 boot strip.

bearing in mind with crystals youll have to find or make adapters so you might aswell read up on that first. angels will be plug and play.... of course providing your car has frosted as standard. could check if h7 looms are in engine bay mind.

That was the easy bit, there is just a plug in which you plug the side light wire into, this then feeds the halos and the side lights.
The beams were the harder bit, the original lights are a single bulb, the angels have separate high and low beam bulbs.
