It seems there are 3 choices of angel eyes for my B5:
FK version
Inpro
Cheaper Chinese Ebay version
The chinese ones look pretty sharp and so on, but are the rings dim? Does anyone have experience with the Inpro or chinese ones? I have FK AE's on my other B5 and they are fine, although a much yellowish light, and somewhat dim.
Don't buy them from a place that you can't return them to.
Angel eye headlights on anything besides a BMW are kinda sketchy anyway. On BMWs, the halos actually serve a purpose. Nobody ever seems to think of wiring up their Passat angel eye halos to replace the daylamps, I dunno why.
well, i have mine wired in as the fog position, since the factory fog on a b5 is freakin pointless anyway. so that works quite well. and fyi, mine are depo lights. i heard bad things about depo, but mine are holding up fine, and installed just fine.
Yeah, the factory fogs are worthless, but the Hella Micro DE bumper-mounted foglight kit is much better -- and if you have the halos wired in the foglight position, then you can't operate the foglights properly.
