Default Angel Eye vs. HID

Well I'm on the fence between choosing an HID kit or retrofitting some angel eyes onto my 94 Z28.

I am worried most about light output as the stock sealed beams, well they suck. Personal input would be great as I'm not to concerned about price because both options are somewhat cheap.

not 100% certain what you mean by angel eyes. I think you mean projectors (angel eyes are the little colored rings). To answer your question if thats the case... spend the money and get projectors. Light output out of sealed beams with HIDs is terrible. http://www.blackbirdlighting.com/ Lotta good info here

The angel eye mod for LT1s. Its basically a driving light retrofitted into the stock mounting points.

Angel eyes are accent lighting around the actual headlight. If you want HIDs the BEST way to do it would be to retrofit projectors.
