Use the search feature, lots out there on this topic. Most people think it's ripping off BMW and many have had problems with wires melting, poor quality, etc.

I've had them twice.... you will regret it if you get them. trust me... its not fun replacing headlamps and baking them over and over again to replace "angel eyes" when they get messed up...

with that being said, leave angel eyes on beamers, and lambo doors on lambos.

This mod actually looks good on well maintained clean cars. It does look like rice if the car's beat. At least its not an LED strip tryin to be like an Audi.

OP, adding angel eyes involves opening the headlights thru baking or some other method.

i think angel eyes look nice, but not nice enough to break open your headlights

^+1 i think they look nice, but too much work, like if you have to replace them you would have to redo the process all over again

The word "Rice" is very overused in the 2IS forum, the problem they don't know themselves.

*not pointing to anyone*

Many manufacturer's seem to have a distinctive "look" on their headlights that give character to the car. Audi has the LED strips, BMW has the angel eyes.

For a Lexus, it's the yellow fogs. Be true to your car's JDM heritage!
