Just changed the angel eye with GP 8500 on driver side and painted the grill in silver.

Just so you know...I have the L.E.D. Angel Eyes and you can hardly see them on through the day and at night you can see them, but they still are not as bright as the OEM. Some people complain that the OEM are slightly yellow. Although this is true the purpose here in Canada is they double as daytime driving lights so other vehicles can see you coming. Through the day you can see the the OEM lights on, but you cannot see the Angels with L.E.D. Just thought I would add this point. The OEM's are much brighter. For the H.I.D's the 6000K are more blue than the OEM H.I.D. I would go for the 4300K or the 5000K if you want a closer match and they are Bright.

Hi Galion,

Thanks for everyone's advice about painting the grill and I am happy with the color match. However, one of the edge from the bottom has some little paint came off. (I am glad I did primer in grey color so it does not really see it). I may come back with a touch up paint for that.

I just installed the GP's yesterday. They are no where near as bright as yours. Maybe mine are bad....Its like the GP's are in low power mode all the time....
