Awesome guide, getting close to getting mine, know doubt this guide will prove useful 
Just a question about Xenon HID kit's melting the plastic, from what I've read HID kits actually draw less current and therfore emit less heat, infact Rimstyle sell a HID option with there angel eyes as well, so my question to you guys is there a proven case where by someone actually melted there angel eye by using a HID kit? Maybe even Garyvts of Rimstyle could confirm whether or not this is the case or not?

Can you show me a link to the HID kit available for angel eyes??? there are stickers on the back of the unit saying NOT to use HID's....
They offer an Xenon bulb upgrade.. but not an HID kit as far as im aware...

The only lighting upgrade you can do is to use the Xenon bulbs rather than the standard halogens..
Show on Rimstyle Here
The HID kit link you have shown is compatible with standard saxo headlights, but they have glass lenses.. mk2 angel eyes have plastic lenses...
The lenses on my angels cracked just using the standard halogens they came with  lets hope this set lasts a bit longer!

Hi,
Having now received mine I can see there is a sticker on there saying "HID's NOT ALLOWED", you can interpret this in many ways, my interpretation is that they are now allowed on Saxo type vehicles rather than they can damage the headlight, I'm going to chance my luck and fit a set of hid's with these headlghts, shall keep you guys posted on whether or not they melt/crack the headlight.

Can you stick up 2 pics for me.. (I just wana look at something)
1) Lights on dipped beam
2) Lights on full beam
I presume dipped beam is the light in the outer rings and the full beam is the one in the inner rings.....
Chars...

Hi
our VDX HID Kits are now at £129 and have been fitted inside Ultra angel eyes successfully with no problems at all. We can also do packages if you were looking to buy both together
Thanks
Gary

As far as im aware they are buddy
But im not actually driving my car... it's in Reading and being used and abused by my step dad while im at university in keele!
I read your thread the other day asking where's a good place to buy them from and i would thoroughly recommend using rimstyle.. they have awesome customer service.. and they were incredibly helpful when there was a problem and sorted it out very quickly...
