Cool Time to show off my Angel Eyes.

Hey guys, finally finished my headlights. I cleared it, blacked out the housing and put in my angel eyes. Also painted the grill black but need to repaint because didn't have time to actually finish the job all the way. Personally, I'm really proud of myself for how good my baby looks in the front. BUT my left side HID fog that I just put in isn't working for some reason...the ballast works fine because I checked it...help?

what's the igniter? and where is it? because the bulb worked fine, the chord, the ballast. it's weird because the halogen bulb works fine when i plug it in to the driver's side fog.

Good job, I personally would've put the Halo around the Hi-beams only. Circle and Rectangles don't make a good combination IMO. Props to you though.

I think they look fine when they're on -- maybe you can try some ::subtle:: eyelids so it's more difficult to see where they are glued

And the black grille looks great! I got the same set-up in mine, except my headlights are chrome and I left the ---(A)--- chrome. I think it gives it better contrast that way and it's more sleek. But overall, props on putting them in.

You should buy a bit of silver vinyl (very cheap from metrodecals.com, <$15) and cover the headlights with it. Or if you're really crafty, you can craft it yourself out of fiberglass. Mine are out of vinyl and they look fine. If you look at my avatar closely, you can get an idea for making your eyelids.

You see the bit on the top of the headlight that's dark when the angel eyes are on? Make that the eyelids. Good luck!

Everytime I see a BMW i say, "Man...I want some Halos"

and then when I see stuff like this i say, "Man...I'm glad I don't have Halos"

But it looks like you did A+ work...not diggin the black grille on SSM at all though

Nice. but i would have only put the halo around the high beams and left the grill chrome. or wait until you do a projector retrofit to put in halos.

maybe it's the photos, but the inner rings look like they're "aimed" up and out slightly....
