DIY "angle eyes"
Angel Eyes
(Caution) these light are not flexible so do not squeeze them or any thing there GLASS! I broke 3
I assume if you are doing this Mod you know how to take apart the head light.
The product you use is a ccfl light same concept as the swirl light in your house these can be found on a couple car websites that charge a lot or you can find them in computer stores. I found mine online by searching for CCFL fans 80mm and 120mm. It is a lot cheaper to buy the fans with the CCFLs in them and take them apart than buy them separately.( I used the fans to cool my after market AMPS)
They come white, green , red which is illegal on the front of your car , BLUE the best color ever , and purple which is a black light and is not very bright.
Optional, Highly suggestible (paint the back of them so the light doesn’t reflect off the housing it ruins the look) do this before you start gluing them down paint with high temp paint that is quick drying.
Once you have the headlight apart you glue them in to the desired location. Make sure to use high temp glue or it wouldn’t hold. This part of the install Is totally up to you, desired location or what ever. But I fund that it was extremely difficult to get them angled the same way so take your time and be prepared to reposition. Also when gluing put only a small amount of glue on the bottom I used so little that its hardly holding them. On top go nuts. I glued the wire on top kind of behind the center insert feed the wire through a good local and attach the inverter.
Wiring can be done in a couple of location by (splicing parking lights, signals so they flash with the signal alarm light in door so they flash with the alarm, DRLs they only go on when high beams are on or DRLs are on, last but not least with a switch) your chose I wired mine to the parking lights.
before you reseal your head light put the lenses on and check the positioning of them from different angles. I put mine together had to take it apart
Good luck
Oh and I’m not responsible for anything going wrong
