Angel eyes

Ok dont disown me for this! This is juz a question of opinion.. has anyone seen angel eyes headlights on a TL? i saw 1 today same color car as mine and I must admit it look'd damn good and I was surprised like i kinda liked em on BMW's but i didnt think it would look right on ours. Ii didnt even kno they fit on em? so i juz wanted to kno whut u guys thought about it..b4 i go get em lol im kinda runnin outta mods anyway. im really startin to want h.i.d.s too but they're a lil to rich for my blood. if u havent heard or seen of angel eyes tell me and i'll post sum pics.

It's actually pretty easy and cheap to make. The hardest part is you need to take apart your headlights so it's only worth it if you're doing it at the same time you're smoking your headlights. Here's a how-to:

http://www.crx.lt/content.php?article.13

The bimmers pretty much do it the same way. If you get a chance to go to the dealer, go look at their headlight rings carefully and you'll see the notches behind the rings, and see where the light enters the rings from below.

A friend of mine sells DDEs for E46 bimmers. I dont know how the wiring harness works, but Id say just buy those and try to figure out some way to mount it inside your own headlight. For the bimmers it just clips on to a peice of the inner headlight trim, im sure you can figure out some way to hold the ring in place.
IM not sure if the wiring harness is E46 specific but i can find out. its like a 5 min install on the bimmers, just gotta be careful cause the rings are real fragile. They are top of the line shits too, the ones my friend sells. Ill give u a link later.
Ohh and if you are gonna do a mod, if you think its cool, fuck what everyone else thinks, lol. If you think it will be cool as shit and look good to you then do it!

The same tutorial can also be found at:
www.geocities.com/jvxdriver/eagle_eyes.htm

This guy also made a follow-up guide to make the angel eyes (he calls them eagle eyes.. lol,whatev) even better:
www.geocities.com/jvxdriver/eagle_eyes_upgrade.htm

Looks sweet but also will take a lot of work.. props to the author and anyone else who actually does it.

actually, i think it looks easy other than the fact you have to take the headlight apart... i think im gonna test this out with my brother on his spare headlights and see how good it looks and how long it takes. i'll report back when we do it and see if its worth doin to my car

How well would it look in our headlights though? Since our low/high beams are in the same spot more or less. Maybe put them around the fogs?
