hiya all just got some angel eyes for my fiesta mark 4 the dipped lights on my angel eyes are not bright enough does any one know what wattage bulbs i can put in them :)



50w max legally. You could convert to HIDs. Cost more but you get loads more light from them.

They are illegal IF the headlight has NOT been tested for HID (which is pretty much any car really apart from some of the newer ones)

Nowhere at all on that site states that they must be installed in a tested unit for HID, otherwise they WILL be illegal. I don't think its a good idea to give people ideas for illegal items on a public forum....

Just found this...

I'll argue with you then. Firstly I told him his options, secondly petal, if you read my post it clearly says right at the beginning 50W max LEGALLY!!!!!

Finally, where does it say I recommend them??? It doesn't it just says they are available!!!

Quoted myself just so people can see :D

i need my angle light bulb changing i dunno how get to it though how do you do it? and what bulb do i need for it?

i've its a pain do becuase you have to solder iron the bulbs on its not like a normal 1 iz this true?

Very true, normally in the cheaper angel eye's light units its 2 leds soldered to wires. Simple take old ones off and solder some new ones in.
