   Ive looked at these before but have been put off by stories of them cracking from the inside, and dont want the hassle of sending them back etc.
   I thought Id settled on smoked standards but after looking at some more pics of the angels they do look soooo good!
   
   Im really struggling to make a decision so am appealing for advice

   I currently have smoked standards and bought some MK2 smoked angel eyes yesterday and they should arrive tomorrow.
   
   I was in exactly the same situation but i made sure that i got warranty and bought from an actual online shop and talked to the bloke.
   
   I finally chose angels because if you want them you have to be prepared to send them back if they crack.

   Sending them back is a headache I dont want. You will be off the road without lights............

   not if they send the corrier to collect the old lights in exchange for the new set.

   you wont be left with no lights because (depending on which company you deal with) when the deliver bloke comes to pick old lights up he will probs have new set to give straight away in exchange

   I bought mine from Rimstyle... mine cracked after 6months.. they contacted ultra with the photo's i had taken of the cracks... ultra sent me out a replacement set.. i have fitted them to my car.. and they are coming to collect the old set tomorrow....
   
   I spoke to Rimstyle and it sounds like they have changed the plastic since the first batch, the first batch was defective... so they shouldn't crack...
   
   In my opinion MK2 angels are worth it.. i think they look ace.. far less girly and less ordinary than smoked standards... although others will disagree
   
   My spanking new replacement set
   
   
   
   p.s. yes i know the top bolt wasn't fully tightened that picture was taken whilst fitting them...
