Currently there is no "good" replacement for it. The factory angel eye uses a BA9S 12v 10w bulb if I remember correctly that sits inside the inner "mock projector" and lights the ring. I have tried various LED alternatives and none of them are brighter then the stock bulb. One thing I have seen people do that is pretty cool is to replace it with a 21w BA9S bulb which will double the brightness but also make it less white. As of right now, no one makes a good replacement that will be brighter/whiter. If you can find a good BA9S based LED bulb that is really bright then that would work, there's quite a bit of room inside the ring.
