I did the entire thing, got the clear rods, heated them and made them, did the dremel cuts.... tested the LED's....

Then I went to go about instaling them and realized...what the hell am I doing. I'd have trouble mounting them and wiring them and in the end it wil look ricey and 'cheap'...so I trashed them.

Seems like a cool idea...but I changed my mind about it and dislike them :-/ -- just food for thought

Here's my custom creation, I did them myself last summer:


I like them, I think they came out great. In person they're so much brighter, but it is hard to capture it in a picture.


it runs....... and drives....... sorta

Here go mine...I cheated and bought whole new headlights tho


I was going to do the NON-Angel Eye mod to these...cuz I always thought they were ricy, and I just likes how the headlights looked by themselves...but I hooked them up to my fog lights swtich (dont have any foglights anymore cuz of intercoolor piping) so I can cut them on when I want.

I kinda like them, how hard is it to install into our headlight units and how hard is it to wire?

If you make them yourself, it might take maybe an hour or more to do a couple sets. Grooving the plastic thing is what takes the longest. I used a dremel and took like 2 hours to cut up about 6 long pieces, in case 1 looked better than the other. Without those grooves, the illusion will look dumb.
