   1. It's illegal to have blue lights.
   And
   2. It's not normal bulbs, it's LEDs, so would be a pain to change em.

   They look White to me bud. But yeah blue lights are illegal. And just because youve seen loads of cars with blue lights, doesn't mean they're legal lol.

   true lmao..so white with a slight tint of blue should be fine? plain white looks disgusting and defintly not worth the money! but if u look at this thread..his look completly white but in the dark kinda have a slight tint..would the one am buyin be the same? if so am very happy! as long as its not just 100% plain white..slight tint of blue is spot on.

   It's probably because they're in day light that they look slightly yellow bud. If I was you, I'd buy em, if you don't like em, sell em on again. Wouldn't lose too much money bud.

   very true! a nice 6k hid kit would go spot on with it..think ill go for it ill message the seller anyway ask if he knows what exactly they look like in the dark..(probs wouldnt have a clue) but al ask anyway and buy it anyway! cheers for the info pal!

   I'd be careful with HIDs in angels bud, been known to melt the lenses on sum angels.

    That's what my old ones looked like
    
    They do look blue at night but think the ones you have posted have uprated led bulbs in

    the heat from the HID's doesnt melt the plastic its the UV that comes from them so if ur HID's are UV protected i THINK they wont melt, but dont hold me to that.
    
    Just check with the seller if they are compatable with HID's and if they are UV protected or the HID's ur buying are.
    
    something like that anyways

    but it all depends what blue, i got myself some super white LED sidelight bulbs off ebay, they have a blue tint and are fully road legal as assured by the company.
    
    they sell 2 types, "ice white" which have a lovely tint of blue and "Blue" which they say is for off road use only.
    
    so it all depends.
    
    here is the link: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=360315937415
    
    they look really nice too.

    hmmmm..coz i dont really like the idea of plain white angel eyes..will i want angel ring led to have a slight tint of blue..normal LED will fit? or the angel eyes have special leds? as for the hid kit..if anyone out there who has HID kit fitted to angel eyes please post ur expereince of it..i contact the ebay seller who sellin the angel eyes and said dont use hids with it...but like fox mentioned..depends which hids! very very puzzling topic !
