So, Ive been looking at the how to article on angel eyes installation and my biggest worry, other than straight up wrecking my high beams is going through it all and then it being half a$$ed. Specifically, the lights not being bright enough.

So I went and spoke with some guys at a BMW custom shop here in Miami, MCP Racing, and they have a kit with 2 pairs of BMW angel eyes for $180. They never have done the installation on any car but a BMW and I think they are a little scared to attempt it. So I might end up doing it myself or finding somewhere else.

What do you all think about the price? using the original BMW lights vs making your own? completing the actual install myself? or any suggestions of a shop in MIA who would do a good job?

Thanks

If u get a super-bright LED u shouldnt be worried about the brightness. If u try it on one light, and its not up to par, or u break the light then go ahead with these other guys. 180 seems kinda steep seeing as u can probably do it for under 20$

i personally don't think it will look right because our front lenses on the headlights are not clear windows, they are reflectors. it's just going to end up dissipating the light and killing the effect.
