"Spyder" brand. Buy the one with black housing, NOT chromed. Replace the yellow corner with stealth silver bulb (I will.)
You have to do your own AEs wiring since there's no instruction/installation guide.

does it come with wiring for angel eyes? i know the ones i have on my 330 i got from ebay and they are identical to what umnitza sells for half the price, all wiring, connectors etc...never dealt with an all in one piece............also where do you get this type?

gonna wire them to parking lights which thru a search tells me it the 4th pin on left side of lcm plug, should be green and brown wire i think but sometimes its different color

They are on eBay
You wil need the wiring harness for AE. Don't use the parking lights. Tap to the positive wire in the ECU to have them as DRL. I couldn't be happier.

Member on here has problem when tapping them to parking light: The cluster goes dim and not response to the brightness control dial.
Harness on eBay too, or Umnitza
