f25 depo angel eye equivalent

Does anyone know of a plug n play option to upgrade from halogen (non angel eyes) to something that has the angel rings look? I cannot seem to find any depo halogen upgrades for the 2017 f25

Any advice is greatly appreciated

Are you looking to upgrade the whole headlight assembly or just convert the lighting to LED? I am in the process of researching LED conversion kits myself

Thanks! Looks like they have a conversion from the halogen but for some reason it only covers 2011-2014?

I am probably going to go with VLEDs for my conversion. FCP Euro didn't have anything, unfortunately. I have bought bulbs from VLEDs before and they are pretty good

You're replacing your stock H7 Halogens with LEDs

Yeah I am hoping to man - my night driving sight is not very good, so the brightness helps me - they said I need cancellers in addition to bulbs and resistors

I've seen people with LEDs in Halogen housings and they produced a lot of blinding glare to oncoming traffic. Super bright right in front of the vehicle, but the throw is way worse then a stock Halogen bulb and the beam pattern is terrible with bright/dark areas.

I recommend these H7 bulbs, they will be brighter than any other Halogen bulb you try (replace all 4 and get a spare).
