Best part is they don't dim when turning on parking, or headlights.

this is the kit made by forum member camaross305. It was originally made to power HID bulbs for the angel eyes. He's now developed a connector that is used with his kit to allow you to run any H8 angel eye bulb you want at full 14V even when headlights are turned on.

not sure what AE's are?

The halos do not dim when the headlights are turned on. They are also slightly brighter as they receive a full 14 volts when car is on all the time. OEM wiring only supplies just over 10 volts with headlights off and about 3.5? or so with headlights on.

haha... oh gotcha So then the answer is yes brighter, but just slightly. No way near as bright as HID, but that's what I wanted. Good think is you can easily switch between HID or halogen AE's.

[QUOTE=J08M3;5118123] I doubt any LED is this bright.

http://f1autohaus.myshopify.com/products/ossdesigns

Check'em out bro... I finally saw a set of these here in Miami and DAMN!! Just amazing... The setup you have now is a 100% improvement over the previous problem associated with GP Thunders though, looks good man.(also there is a SIGNIFICANT cost savings over the OSS ones I mentioned, but totally different products)

Also, (I have no choice) What front bumper/lip is that, looks stunning bro!

Yes the OSS are great but 2 different monsters. This "Elite Kit" is more for people who want simple plug and play and something that can be removed in 15min. and dont want to spend more than 120$. I still prefer my HID AE's because of the color choices and brightness. But i mad this for people who say the HID AE's are too bright
