Another Angel Eye Install

I recently posted some pics of my car and had more than a few people suggest the next mod I do be installing angel eyes, so as requested I decided to do the install this weekend. Install was not bad, but I will say you either need very small hands or a helpful wife to get in there. Anyway, here are some pics in the process...Enjoy and of course comments are appreciated....


*With one side done, well almost done. The outer ring was not as bright as it should have been because it was not turned in all the way, make sure its in and you turn it all the way or your outer ring will not shine as bright.

*With both done, I really thought these would be a bit whiter as apposed to blue, but being on a black car it can pull it off. Plus I'm going for an all black with touches of blue them so it works. Not sure this color would be good on anything but blue or black. Both rings are VERY bright, its tough to capture it in a photo...

I'm in Las Vegas and I've learned cops have much more to do here than pull you over for lights, haha...Already had 2 cops facing me with not even a look...

I'm interested in getting brighter/whiter angel eyes so I'm curious. What oem headlights do you have, xenons? Which type and brand of replacement angel eyes did you go with and why?

My car has the Xenon headlights. Through my research I gathered that when looking for replacement Angel eyes to make sure that they are L.E.D and at least 40W. Ive heard several recommendations for different brands, but like everything else figured they were all made in somewhat similar fashion. As long as they are L.E.D and at least 40W I figured I'd be good and I was right. Just choose one that says "white" if you want brighter white as opposed to the blue. Personally a bit of blue matched my set up. Got mine off ebay for $60, brand is Himge...PM me and I can shoot you t
the seller name. ..

Looks good, but not my taste. Good luck on not getting pulled over.

why bother with blue lights? You are going to get a ticket sooner or later.

To reply to everyone's comments regarding cops messing with me or getting pulled over, my experience after living in Las Vegas for 13 years is that cops simply don't bother with things like this here. There are alot of high end and modified cars out here that have different lighting setups that could be considered illegal, police simply don't have the time/care to pull over someone to ticket them for lights. Now I could see this giving them a reason to pull me over if they were suspicious of something else, but fortunately I don't do anything that would get me in any legal trouble...Plus my buddy is an attorney so I'm good anyway...In short, cops will not be an issue, already faced 2 at night and didn't even get a look...

Not sure about cops, i just dont like the blue.
That being said, this is your car and and what matters is your opinion not mine.
Since you are from Vegas as well, i could have showed you the custom headlights on my car if you are looking for a complete upgrade or our angel eyes kit for a similar option to the one you picked
