Buying guide · Updated

KYCS angel eyes are our cost-effective in-house range. BavGruppe Design angel eyes are the premium option: brighter, with a more seamless light output, at a higher price. Every angel eye conversion we build uses one of the two, so here's how they compare.

What angel eyes are

Angel eyes are the lit rings around the projectors in a headlight, often called halos. They work as the sidelights, and in a custom build they can be upgraded in brightness and colour.
