Default Any tips on installing the angel eyes for my IS250?
I'm looking to get Angel Eyes off eBay for my IS and wanted to know if anyone had any difficulties installing them and what kind of silicone they used to reseal the headlights?

Try searching, but I know angel eyes are notorious for having high failure rates and they're a pain to fix of course.

U don't need silicone to reseal ur headlights, the oem glue is more than enough. When I'd did mine, I'd used LOCTITE REPAIR EXTREME (all temp) glue (found at Walmart by the paint/putty/sanding area) to glue the halos in place.


Here's a couple pics of mine. Hate it or love it, just enjoy it... (This was before I'd polished my lens of course)

It looks good but not worth the hassle at all.
