Angel eye brightness increase

Hey, the question I have for today is that:

If I just bought some LED's off Amazon and installed them to replace my halogen angel eyes, can I code the Angel Eye brightness from 12V to 13.7V and it should be okay? Will it be any brighter like how the halogen bulbs would be brighter? I tried searching the forums and Google, but haven't found an answer. I know many suggested LUX on this forum, but I didn't want to spend another $310 after CAD conversion on another set when I had my old pairs breaking on me.

Thanks!

Im not sure about increasing the voltage but i increased it with Carly and my halogens are brighter. Its been over 2 years with no issues. You can also turn off the function where the halos get dimmed out when the headlights are on among many other functions.

Thank you for your input! Yeah I have read numerous situations where this works with halogen. But wondering if anyone here have done it to LED
