I know there has been many posts about this topic but I just installed new PIAA H8 angel eye bulbs so I thought I'd share my upgrade since I couldn't find anyone else who went the PIAA rout. It was a cheap upgrade ($60) and am happy with the results. I went with PIAA Stratos Blue 5000K. (Only sold in Japan) I found them on Ebay and decided to give it a shot. I think it's better than having yellow bulbs. However I may change them in the summer for different ones. Let me know what you guys think. I think for the $ it was worth the upgrade opposed to spending $150+ on LUX or other top brands. In my opinion LUX is the closest looking to OEM.

There are lux replicas that are $55 and even better ones for $80 on eBay.
Your piaas seem pretty good though,
But you only show a pic of them in the dark.
How do they look in daylight?

I think it's 60 bucks that could have gone towards a better led set. They don't look very bright or even. The gp thunder bulbs are 14 dollars and would have given you the same result imo
