I love my angel eyes, i had them on my 106 and they were never a problem, maybe it's because i bought them brand new?
I bought the same lights for my 206, second hand and they have been so annoying, the sidlights completely melted, the halo rings variously stop working and when i put blue tinted bulbs in they blow after a month.
Has anyone else with angel eyes had this problem?

The genuine ones are made by Ultra are they not? Should have a name or a part number on them. Cheap bulbs will blow soon regardless of what lights they are in. You are better off with SMD's.

Oh right, i don't want to remove them so i'll see if i can tell what they are without doing so, otherwise i'll replace them.
The bulbs i have been buying are ultra blue or laser blue ones from halfrauds, they're £15-20 each, i get them for £7 with discount tho, so they're not normally cheap bulbs, i wanted to convert them to HID's but don't want to spend all that money if they're likely to blow.

They are still cheap ones just Halfords is a massive rip most of the time even with a trade card. Get SMD's you won't be disappointed. As for HID's I got a cheap set but got them with a warranty.

I am selling it Lee, but not with dodgey lights lol, i'll save up for a couple of months, put it up on piston heads and autotrader in the spring when people have more money, probably bring the prive down a bit too. I'll get my brother to look at them, he's got a degree in electronical engineering and is amazing with cars so if they can be sorted, he's the man :D.
Cheers for the link Rob :). Never heard of those before, they look too small to be for headlights, look more like my number plate bulbs! might look into it...

They are sidelight bulbs. I have them in my car. They are very good.
