Question Deciding between different Angel Eye H8 Bulbs

Hey guys,

I've read some of the other discussions about picking different angel eye H8 bulbs...the conclusion I've drawn is that LUX and other well known brands have more reliable/consistent quality?

I was wondering if anyone has tried or heard of these:

http://www.yescomusa.com/products/h8...ower-resistors

The website looks reputable, and it seems like they should be decent quality (CREE Led Lights). I also found a few others:

https://stealthauto.com/Accessories-...o-Upgrade-Kit/ - $165

http://www.amazon.com/iJDMTOY-360-De...dp/B00A41T98O/ - $70

http://www.amazon.com/6000k-BMW-H8-U...dp/B00LBICFNK/ - $70

http://www.luxangeleyes.com/collecti...cts/lux-h8-160 - $200

http://store.ijdmtoy.com/BMW-E82-E60...s-p/75-007.htm - $60

Anyways, just wanted to see if anyone has any specific thoughts about these retailers, specifically yescomusa.

I have the ijdmtoy lights installed. I've only driven about a 1,000 miles with them. I like the look of the bright white instead of the factory yellowish look. Mine were the 20w XP-E lights.

I bought a set of 20W 6000k LED's off ebay for £47, they look very similar to the $60 set on amazon you posted.

I'm very happy with them. Admittedly yes, in direct sunlight you can't see them much at all, but when not in direct sunlight or at dusk/night, they're excellent! Very similar colour to the factory xenons. They don't fade in or out like OEM halogens though.
I'm just happy to get away from the old amber colour. The actual headlight beam appears nice and whiter/bluer than before too

Definitely recommend them

pretty much all the links you posted are similar products except for our lights. We personally developed these and have been a supporting vendor here on the forum for years. I cant tell you how many people switched from the cheaper lights to ours and wish they just used them in the first place. We even have a dedicated page on our site just for this.
