Yea, it is really too bad the OEM LED angel eyes are so $$$ to retrofit. Every loaner I get these days as well as my wife's car have the OEM LEDs and those product a great deal of light.

SchweiZ4, I personally won't be running higher wattage than stock bulbs. I did this in a Ford Focus while I was in college and ended up melting the wiring harness connector and by the time I caught the issue the headlight housing was starting to get damaged as well.
