Hi All,

I know there are quite a few people on this forum that are interested in the angel/demon eyes for our TL's, so I have decided to mail Umnitza my headlights so they could work on them.

I know that there are many people who consider this to be "ricey" and that's completely understandable but I think it will be a great mod...

However, in order for me to proceed with this, I need help from someone regarding the removal of headlights from my TL.

If anyone has the instructions on how to remove the headlights (right and left), then please post them or send me a PM...

Also, it would be great if you could also post the installation of the headlights (so once I get them back from Umnitza, I will not have a problem installing it)

I thank everyone for their support and hopefully this should be an exciting mod!!!

 

Also, if someone could please help me find a close-up picture of a headlight so that way I could send it to umnitza and have them do a photoshop to let us know where the halo ring would be placed...

I don't have my car with me at the moment so I can't do this myself, and I'm constantly searching the website to find a close-up picture of the headlights but the pictures are not that great...so I would really appreciate it if someone could please take a picture of their headlights and post it...a closeup picture please...

thanks, in advance..

 

hmm nice... finally someone has the balls to step up and send their headlights out... keep us posted...

 

It will be interesting to see what it looks like. If it looks good I would buy one!!

keep us posted!!

 

Jinen,

Thanks for stepping up and giving your headlights to them. I was wondering about this last week, and wondered what happened. I'll get a headlight pic shortly... bear with me..

 

Try searching. There are tons of posts regarding removal of the headlights including how to seperate the lights to do work yourself. Its not going to be related to Angel Eyees, but Amber Lense removal for "Clear Corners"

Basically in the 04 TL, you gotta pull the front bumper and supposedly on one side unbolt half of the battery bracket and then you can remove the lights.

 

hope those help

 

cTLgo, thanks a lot for the pictures...I'll definitely send the first picture to umnitza for a photoshop of the angel/demon eyes...

also, would it be possible to take a picture of the headlight by being right in front of it? (just incase if they want that picture)

the picture that you have posted takes it from an angle so i was just wondering if we could have a picture that is dead-center of the lights...

i searched for angel eyes and demon eyes, but i'll search for clearing headlights, maybe that should give more responses..

thanks, in advance...

 

head on shot...

 

thanks, but could you get closer to the headlights? lol sorry if i'm being picky, but i think that's what umnitza wants...

thanks...

 

haha, I've been searching... its amazing no one has posted a headlight close up pic... i'm goin through the gallery as we speak

 

the BEST I can do... I will take a pic tonight if I have to...

 

In the gallery section of the acura TL on the acura web site they have a hi res head light foto.

 

what about these guys?

helps to have a digi cam and free time

 

and yes i know my car is very very dirty.....

 

I like the bird poop touch you put in the pics

 

PURRRRRRRRRRRRRFECTTTTTTTTTTTTT...

THANK YOU EVERYBODY FOR YOUR HELP!!!!

 

i know, i know... its bad..... what really sucks is that bird targeted me 1 day after it was washed last week... and its pollen season.... you just cant win

 

Here are the scans for headlight removal, front bumper removal, inner fender removal, and windshield washer reservoir removal.

 

i'm interested in the angel eye look, and no, i don't have BMW-fever...i just like the way it looks. I'm not mechanical tho, so i'd want it done and installed, in or around NYC...ideas anyone?

 

THANK YOU RON A!!!!

Seriously, your service manual has helped soo many TLer's out!!! On behalf of all of us, I would like to thank you for your support!!!

 

hmm now Im curious to see how they look. I didnt even consider it, but now I just might.

 

Dude you are awesome. Thanks for having the balls to do this for all of us, i know alot of us are really interested in getting angel eyes, as am I. Please do keep us posted on the steps you are going through to get this done.

 

DAM RON A that service manual does come in handy... lol must get one when i own a tl soon lol

 

What do you guys recommend?

1) Getting rings on the projector lights only?
2) Getting rings on the "fog lights" only?
3) Getting rings on both the projector and fog lights?

Looking at the headlight carefully, I think it might look better with the rings around the projector lights only...the reason being is that the "fog lights" aren't circular so having an unusual shape for those rings might look a bit weird...in the bmw's, their highs' and lows' are circular so it goes really well, but with our TL's, I think it may be best to just get the rings around the projectors...

opinions???

 

just the projectors...

 

I have sent the photos to umnitza and they are going to use photoshop and just give us a rough draft of where the rings would go...

They said that they would work on that tonight and most likely get back to me by tomorrow...

Once I have the pictures, I will post them and then we can decide what to do from that point onwards...(I will also create a poll tomorrow to get people's opinions on the placement of the rings)

 

i like it on bothe the projectors and high beams..

 

the highbeam comes from the projector...

 

i will double that!!! he he he.... the projector provides both low and high beams, a flap raises and expands the projectors range when you turn the beams on....

i too would only like it around the projector, as the fogs arent round

 

Just around the projector!!!

 

sorry i dont own a tl yet i didnt know... on my tsx the high beam was a seperate bulb... and didnt come from the projectors.. sorry about that... so which one is the fog???

 

My opinion? Just around the projector is good. Here is one more pic of a headlight closeup if you still need.

 

The fogs are the one's closest to the grill of the car. (i.e. if you were looking in the pic above this post, the light on the right side is the fog light. The light with the silver ring around it is the low/high beam.

 

whe u say fog light you mean day time running lights correct ???

 

america tls dont have drl (daytime running lights). we have fog lights that can be turned on and off. they are in place of the drl that canadian models get

 

oo ok thanks alot

 

I don't know how you'd possibly do the fogs.....a rectanglular halo would like like *ish.

 

im sorry but what is it that defines the bmw headlights to be "angel eyes"?
is it the shape or something else? and what exactly is the change to the tl lights going to look like?

 

bmw headlights have unique rings around the light. kind of like parking lights, but they light up in circle around the projector and looks really mean at night
