Question - 2001 Angel Eyes

I just did the upgrade, and love it but am now wondering if anyone has tried to get bulbs for the eye rings that match the headlight color better. I would love to get them a little brighter, or have that xenon blueish tint.

Which set did you order from Bekker's, the H7 set or the Xenon set? Since we already have Xenons, we obviously don't need another set of ballasts or bulbs.

I ordered the xenon set from bekkers. I took the bulbs out that light the eyes. They are small 10w standard phillips bulbs. They are on a different circuit than the headlights and come on at different times so I do not think that we could use the same ballast, even if we found xenon bulbs that would be that size. I think the best would be some efficent 20w halogen with the blueish glass which tends to make the light emitted look more xenonish.
