i live in vancouver, bc does ANYONE know where i can install them??!! i bought a pair of angel eyes already but i have no idea where to go

TSX408

Some thing car audio places do that.

samxeyeam

Just do them yourself... The only place I know is AAC but you have to mail it off to them... It might look hard but it was actually a pretty easy install...

wreak

I'm confused, why are people doing this mod? Isn't this sort of thing supposed to be frowned apon?

samxeyeam

Why do you say that??? ^^^

samxeyeam

Oh I get it... You are one of those people who dont even have an acura... let alone a car...

stylin

hey samxeyeam, im in SD too wanna do mines =p

samxeyeam

^^^ Do you trust me to do yours? LOL.... -_-;; Oh yeah I was about to ask you, how did you mount your front license plate again?

wreak

Well, they serve absolutely no purpose and I'm pretty sure most of the people doing them are kids with Civics trying to make their cars look like BMW's.

wreak

Wrong, I own a TSX A-Spec.

bo0sty

i know it seems like people are trying to be BMW, but there is defidently a difference between BMW and these angel eyes. the BMW one are thicker, the angel eyes we use are thin. since they're thin they highlight the shape of the headlight in a subtle way. they don't really stand out they are more of an accent...no purpose, its like saying what the point of A-Spec.

the reason they look ghetto on a civic is cause civics don't have projectors and the headlights just don't look right. the TSX headlights have natural circles that dont look out of place when highlighted by angel eyes.

samxeyeam

^^^ Thank you for explaining bo0sty... I didnt bother trying to explain to him because he seem very open minded about things so I didnt want to waste my energy... I will try very hard to not be an A-hole about this so lets keep it at that...

transit6404

i already have the angel eyes installed in my car from previous owner. However, he didn't get to have the time to wire them. Anybody knows how to do it? If possible, pics would be awesome! Thanks

wreak

Well the A-Spec package comes with A-Spec suspension and a lip kit which both serve a purpose so I can't agree with you on that one. But if it's purely aesthetic alright I get it, I just didn't expect to see people doing that mod on a TSX.

stylin

haha i ghetto did my license plate... still need to head to home depot to get some brackets to make it look flate and not slanted =\

i may buy a set of headlights off ebay and maybe we can have an install day for em =p

Either you collected empirical data on halo owners or you just blabbered nonsense from out of nowhere. hmmm, I wonder which one it is...

anyway, you don't know what you're talking about,
halos have nothing to do with being a BMW wanna-be

and appearance mods are not practical... right! GOOD ONE!

why are you so involved with this thread if you have no interest in halos?

wreak

Halo lights serve no purpose, and the biggest pool of people using aftermarket ones are 16-18 yr old kids driving 4 dr Civic's,you can't argue that fact.

I know daytime running lights are more practical than halos...

You'd be surprised.

I do have interest in halos, I think they are such a waste of money that it warrants me bringing it up.

MMsTSX

wrong.
halo lights absolutely do serve a purpose.
they are for looks, a subtle unique appearance mod that can be
turned off and on at will.

I guess YOU would be surprised. most everyone I know that are interested
in halos have not even one thought of BMWs. they want them because
they see them on other cars. in this case with the TSX, it is because
they have seen them on a TSX before and like them, then wanted them on
their car as well. the BMW ones are much different anyway.
I personally don't like the ones on the BMWs. don't like the color or thickness.

so who cares if you think it is a waste of money?
you surely think that my FEEL'S Carbon Power Rod is a waste of money,
or that my Mugen intake is a waste of money, and on and on.
so what do we care?
you don't like or want to buy such mods, so don't.

miked8887

Okay wreak, then you win... they're pointless. If appearance is pointless, then our TSXs are all pointless too. Also, every museum in the world is pointless. Christmas lights, decorations, statues, fountains, clothes... all pointless.

No really, this guy is just being stupid now. Look at art in history... major part of history. Appearance and looks appeal to people. If you have no sensitivity to it, then okay.

The guy who started this thread has to be pissed. He asked a question, and instead of an answer, he got all this arguing. You need to send your lights to AAC or do it yourself. I am going to DIY it when I get mine. Most people are scared of the DIY, but others are saying its easier than it looks.

wreak

Take the time to read the thread next time. Do I personally think it's a stupid mod, yes, but I've already mentioned that if people are doing it because they think it looks cool, good, drop it, I get it. BTW comparing halo headlamps to museum art is just laughable, clearly with a thought process like that we're never going to see eye to eye so lets drop this. Just remember you're giving just as much effort towards "ruining" this thread as I am.

Please stay on topic or take it to PM.

Is Halo same as Angel? can someone post picture im curious. I will be getting a 1st generation TSX soon and i want to change headlights so im trying get some information.

Thank you.

bo0sty

what purpose does the aspec kit serve other then aesthetics...

ya people usually associate angel with BMW's, Halos is generally used.

miked8887

Yea, "angel eyes" is BMW's trade mark name for halos. I think BMW is the only car that has them OEM. But the name "angel eyes" is so common that people use it to refer to halos on other cars as well

Anyway
Bo0sty, I like the halos,
where'd you get them, and what is the color temp?

wreak

The A-Spec lip kit has been wind tunnel tested by Acura and is proven to lower the coefficient of drag. The A-Spec suspension kit lowers the cars centre of gravity and also includes stiffer springs and shocks for improved handling.

so_heatzcore

different people, different taste in mods/aesthetics. im sure tons of people have halos on their tsx. in the end its all about personal preference.

howi3

sooo....does anyone know where i can get them installed? in vancouver. DIY is too complicated theres all this baking and stuff etc etc and im not those peopel who play around with their cars so i dont wanna mess up anything and end up paying more to fix whatever i messed up

losothefatso

Any body shop that seems like they know what they are doing. :p

msmching

HMMMmmMm... too bad i m in Cali..
Because i found someone willing to do mine for me. He says to charge me $25 (not sure if its each) to take off the headlights and + parts for $40 (one side- but only two circles)

going to see if i have the time to take off my bumper tml... @@ and if i do, i guess i'll have the headlights on Saturday....

visuelz

I'm going to have to agree with wrecked. I kind of want to do the halos because I think it looks cool on a BMW.

AATSX

Thanks man. So if i want to get halos, and make them white-blueish color (hope you know what i mean) what do i need to buy and what needs to be done i want to know as much as i could about before going to get it done. Thank you Mike.
