Arrow New angel eye bulb color installed

Hey guys...

So i finally got my angel eye bulbs i ordered because my passenger side went out about 2 weeks ago.... Whats funny is it didnt work for 6-7 days straight and miraculously started working friday again...

Anyways, i liked our stock color and i wanted a deep gold/yellow type angel eye color.. So i found the only one offered and got them.. I believe on the newer bimmers they actually use a H bulb type versus our more "speciality" kind so those have more options.

I got these because i like the color and to stand out from the pack as well.. Usually everyone does the white/blue/purple replacements and newer cars are white as well.

They look real mean at night but unfortunatly its hard to capture the true color with my iphone 5s or any point/shoot really.. Probably need one of those dslrs.

Pics-

Top right is stock bulb









Enjoy.

So they match your parking lights? If so I really like the look, a lot!

You can tell the color is much more amber like stock park lights, the stock bulb color sucks when you have xenon's/colored fogs.

The amber angel eyes/park lights with the French yellow fogs would look MEAN.

And they do look close to the amber corners in color, but if you look closely in the last pic the hue is more yellow.

Just my pet peeve, but too many lighting colors up front gets to me.

If they don't match the amber (or close to it) of the park lights, I'd code parking lights off, and get Hoen Xenonmatch to match the color of the HID in the headlights. Then you'd have a clean 2 color scheme up front, instead of the 4 different bulb colors you got goin on.

But that's just my OCD at work, don't mind me lol

I like it! Looks very good! You can barely see the difference and if you are driving on the road, no one will notice... Do you have a picture of the AE's with your yellow fogs on? Where did you get the bulb and how much?
I need to get a set of new AE bulbs soon...

Looks good! Which bulb did you go with?
Did this color a few years ago, killer looks at night.

I'll be at Bimfest this year no worries, if my headlights are done by then too that's a plus (led angel eyes and new projectors retrofit).

Last year I was knee deep in wheel bearing and cv joint repairs b
