Hi,

I'm looking to get some angel eyes. I'm after the ones with the black background...I know the visibility isn't amazing on them so I'm looking to combine these with HID's.

I have a question regarding the angel eye rings...I've seen them before on a few E30's with yellow rings. Is there any way I can make the rings blue?


Thanks.

Assuming it's not do-able? If I want angel eyes I have to settle for yellow rings? I can still have HID's but the rings won't change?

The colour is determined by the type of bulb. As most will not use a LED, they will appear yellow to the human eye. You can remove the bulb, and solder in a white or blue LED if that's how you want them.

Personally I wouldn't put angel eyes on an e30, but that just my opinion.

Adding the angel eyes will make no difference to 'useable' light output in eithe ra positive or negative way. Where as the HID's will change everything when it comes to night driving.

Personally i'd say get some HID's and scrap the angel eyes plan, and instead put some pure 'white' led's in the headlights.

HIDs look much better than anal eyes anyway.
Not in E30s any more :(

I bought my HID's from this place: http://www.ddmtuning.com/ap55wwesa.html

Great quality and great price. I bought the 6000K headlights and am really happy with the color and output.

Thanks for the link buddy and all the info!

I'll just get the HID's and spend the angel eyes money elsewhere on the car.
