From the hip:
Not to rain on your parade. Everybody that I know personally from meets and other associations have had nothing but bad things to say about angel eyes. they work for like 2+ months and then burn out or just start to dim or flicker. not worth the time and effort in my opinion. but whatever makes ya happy.

People have different methods for baking. As long as you're within range, it should be fine. If you've never baked headlights before, I'd read the DIY over and over and be very careful with each step. Good luck.

Absolutely hate and refuse to install Angel Rings on G37's, no matter how much you offer to pay. I would really not recommend doing it. They don't even look that good IMO, the rings don't flow with any of the lines inside the headlight. Too ricey IMO.

go for it, no led lighting is ricey as rice can be, angel eyes looks sick if it is placed correctly.

check out advanced automotive concepts.
they use an oracle lighting halo kit made for the g37.

I have them installed & have had zero issues,they have been on for months.

plus if you have them do the install like I did,you get a lifetime warranty.

have not posted pics yet,i have other work I want done 1st.
if you want pm me your email address,ill send you a pic so you can have an idea.

then you decide.
