I was seriously contemplating it. However it is not street legal where I live.
Still thinking about getting the multi color LED eyes, so I can possibly change the color to legal road use when I need it. Haven't committed yet.

But the red eyes look sexy on a NBP TL-S. IMO

it seems like you need to drill a hole into the projector bowl or get a 2nd light source inside to get that look.

I don't see how that is rice, so many people throw that word around that it's getting reallll old. Anything that someone does not like they call it rice.

It's nice to look at but to drive with it? How's the light out put? Visibility? Can other people see you? Is that only a parking light function that turns off whn you turn on the headlights?

Also the term rice has lost all meaning. rice used to be well rice! the stock height civic with 20 inch rims and decals on every panel and insane go fast body kits with an interfooler and under glow that changes colors . At one point putting led strips or halos were considered "rice" but honestly when you see it it's nice.

My previous car was called rice. But at stop lights people would flag me down to take pictures of it. Can't please everyone I guess.

i've installed demon eyes on other cars before. it looks pretty cool. when i install them i put a switch inside the cabin so it can be turned off. i installed them on a g37 and 370z. i contemplated doing it to my TL-S but decided not to because the tl projector is fully enclosed unlike the 370z/g37 which have openings for the demon eye LEDs.

Guys don't confuse angel-eye rings that are CCFL or LED rings (BMW guys call them demon-eyes when they use red or BMW orange on them) with the OP's picture he posted. The light is coming from INSIDE the projector. Indeed many call THESE "demon-eyes" nowadays.

I'm on sportbike forums too and a lot of those guys do the mod and some even in conjunction with angel-eyes so they can switch between the two. (innocent to evil, lol.) It's a lot of work butI think it looks cool. Red or blue will definitely get you a ticket though. There would be no problem with white or amber.

This is what the Bimmer guys call 'demon-eyes'. Rings look way meaner on a BMW because of the "eyebrows" (hoodline) compared to a TL.






Here is the angel-eye/demon-eye combo on bike headlights. On bikes, headlight rings really make them look like real eyes. Pretty cool.





And BTW, there is something called "Krazy-eyes" too. It's basically like demon eyes but in a regular reflector housing, not a projector.

Real mature...all I said was the word is thrown around so much it's reall old. Which is true.

I make 6 figures a year and yes I still drive a civic to work because a car is a car to me. Coming from a person with an rsx, which is basically an over priced civic. Grow up

To many of you don't even know what being a "ricer" is. You guys just throw the term for shits and giggles. The demon eyes isn't race, if anything, it's to 'gangsta/murdered'.

I have basic angel eyes (white/blueish tint) and love them. Many people bash on them because they have never seen them in person. Problem with Angel Eyes/Demon Eyes in the TL is that there isn't a clear #1 quality one out there yet. I'm going to get the multiple LED one in the future just to have the feature.

Definitely. Most people who do the demon eyes have black cars. It looks kind of weird when the car is a different color, just like the white car in the first post. But when the car is black it gives it a real sinister and evil look.

So this looks ricey?

I agree with Civic and Champ that most individuals throw the term "ricey, rice, rice-out" so loosely. Honestly, the term is a bit ambigous and it just comes down to the person's perspective view of "what is ricey?"

I think the term "ricey" "ricer" is used like "swag" "swagger". Most people can't pontificate or expound on what they want to describe a person or thing and just throw a broad term at it. Time to retire both terms.

I think the multi-LED idea is the safest route.

It's different, you don't see it much, and it's perfectly in line with the aggressive appearance of the car.

Perfectly executed, and VERY cool, IMHO.

Wouldn't expect someone like you to understand what it takes to earn a doctorate in pharmacy, so I'm not even going to bother explaining it to you. The point is you're trying to talk down on someone who drives a civic is blatantly stupid. Making stupid remarks and referencing how you think I work at burger king is suppose to make you feel better. What are you long to say next? My dic k is bigger than yours? At the end of the day you still wake up to realize that your life sucks. So go ahead and say whatever will make yourself feel better because I'm done here.


Ps: just because you don't like something doesn't make it rice. Thats all my original comment was suppose to convey.

Good find On a 7 year old pic when I was 17. Seriously good find though I forgot about that pic. Since then all the cf, doors and everything is gone except the k20 an sc.
