Default angel eyes part 2 (pics)









got it from umnitza in pleasonton, ca.

the angel eye around the drl does not have a perfect fit because we used angel eyes originally made for mazdas. i didnt really care though because you wouldnt normally notice it unless you really looked at it up close.

last picture has the angel eyes turned off.

hope you guys like them

here's a pic at night. i'll try to do it better later because it's really hard trying to photograph something so bright in the dark with my camera.


i LOVE these.. can't wait to get my hid's (looks kinda weird with my halogens)

sdpq: the angel eyes are wired to the drl wires. drl's and parking lights were disabled. i cant use highbeams either because the heat from the highbeam will melt the glue.

Alex350: yes, the headlights had to be baked at 210 degrees for 15-20mins

thanks for the info, as good as they look. "baking" is very risky and something i woulnd't have the nearve to do. I replaced my parking lights and i like the way they look now so i wouldn't want to change that.

i am interested in how they look at night though, personally for me...its not worth the money and possible financial impact it may have later on.

Nice! we need night pictures.
It would be alot brighter if they use CFL, But it looks good.
I guess you'll be the only one since baking the headlight would be hard for most of us.
LOL i tried baking my foglight to put a yellow capsule there and it was just a freaking mess.

Looks good now take night pictures

Hey! Great Mod.

Looks great, except I am used to seeing these type of lights on a BWM.

Plus, not to mention I have to negate the High beam+citylights...

Overall, great mod. But I don't think I can see my ride fitted with angel eyes.

But I am not knocking you. Great setup!

I read that DRLs only put out half the power, is that a problem for the Angel Eyes?
