   i may be buying some angel eyes and im wondering how do you tell if there ULTRA or cheep ones off ebay.
   does the lights and a print on it somewhere or is ther not a way of telling apart from when there fitted and light up.thanks

   On the front plasitc lense Ultra ones say "SONAR"
   think thats the main way of telling. Im 90% sure that its only the ultra ones that say this, and not the ebay ones.

   on the lense at the bottom. Mine say 'Sonar' and are off ebay so i'd imagine they're the decent ones

   I 100% have ultra ones, and tbh the rings arent that bright. in the day you cant see them at all...they are only obvious when its dark but i assume the ebay ones are the same.

   Really intrigued by an answer to this also. Looking for some genuine ULTA mk2 black angels. Good advice so far. Pics of SONAR? sounds like prison break ha!
