   Hi,
   
   What is the maximum brightness bulb you can put in the angel eyes on MK2?

   You cant put HID's in angels mate.
   It doesnt melt the rings so much, but it melts the projector lenses. Dont do it.

   Thanks for your response mate.
   
   So do you mean i cannot buy the Xenon bulbs for my main beam? That thread was more onabout an actual HID conversion kit.
   
   I mean the actual bulbs that would just straight swap with the current boring yellow ones.
   
   Thanks

   but i dont think you can get 8000K bulbs unless theyre an HID kit!?
   you can put blue/white 55W xenon bulbs in like this:

   or pos thes 100W ones:

   but i wouldnt risk anything more powerful than that tbh.
