Many people are selling angel eyes after having them fitted to their cars, they are going back to standard, why is this?
Is the visibility at night really that poor, can't you put h7 100w bulbs in them, or quite frankly are the standard headlamp units better?
What's your opinions, especially those of you that own angel eye headlamps the truth please....
Thank you for your honesty
Micka

They're crap for output and are very overdone in the car world now.

imho they look cheap and tacky, there really bad for night time driving. Alot of the kits are cheap as they are cheaply made and poor fitting so when people think they are getting a bargain they really aren't and end up changing back.

i personally think light output is better, but that might just be me, and also, the onlyy reason why i bought them was so i could have projectors on my car.

lets set it straight i had crystals on my gti i swapped for angels, did i think the light output was poor? no, cheap s**t ones maybe but i had ones made by ultra and they were pretty good, i now have morettes which are worse then both, and they are overdone to be honest but i upgraded because i got morettes cheap otherwise i was happy with them

i agree, ive owned all 206 lights apart from the r8 ones and i found morettes to be the worst by a long way
