i think they are a bit high. mine were like that as well and i had to drop them down a bit.

light output is still equal to/more than OEM. I am currently using 4300k bulbs until i can find a good deal on philips brand 6000k or philips ultrablue bulbs.

i agree the slant-cutoff is different, but it doesn't really have any effect on light output.. and it doesn't blind anyone ( i had a friend drive my car while i drove his to test it out).

you can order them from the GB section of forum from an eBay seller, or more recently from Tom at EAS in the vendor forum.

Congrats, Philly. The lights with the LED AE looks sweeeeet!

Can anyone confirm if these LED AE are factory build-in from Depo, or the reseller opened the lights up to fit them in?

And is there a way to change the LED to orange color?

Thanks.

Yet another set of good looking, bright as all get out angel eyes headlights.

As 'Powers1' said, could you confirm if there is a plug on the top of each unit for light beam adjustment lever (for RHD vehicles)?? Post pics of same please, thanks.

Very nice looking h/lights

I don't know if there's a lever, but there was a sticker on the headlamp casing that mentioned a lever and showed the lever in one direction for LHD and the other direction for RHD.
