mine will be on over the hols,might be worth the wait ninja to see them first,but so far the look stunning mate

Here you can see how i made my own angel eyes ... and to repeat the materials cost me about 15 Evro

Just to add to this were the first ones i have ever made, now a have change them (the empty space of the circle is on the bottom of the circle not on the top)


PP. If anybody likes the way it looks and want to have angel eyes, let send me a personal message !

nastybg yes there ok but you can see them when the lights are of and thats what i dont like about them,ill only be doing the big ones one on each side and when my lights are of you will not see the rings at all,pics here of the rings showing that i dont like

I didn't understand your idea, how that you'll see them when the lights are off, mine can be seen both when the lights are off and when they are on ...

I mean that the power to the angel eyes comes from the dimmers(if this is the right word i have found it in a dictionary) ... and when my lights are on they can't be seen !!!

when your lights are off you can still see the rings in the lights,my idea you will not see them at all

Anyone got eact measurements needed for both sizes on the headlamps as i have a spare set of headlamps and may have a play, gona have to find some rings that dont have a gap tho.

this one is 100mm but the other side is not round so i am going with just one, 70mm would fit the small side in this type but they dont do them

how bendy are the rings as i'm the same as steveo and want to limit the gap to as small as possible where the to ends of the rings stop and was thinking getting 100mm for the dipped light ring and 120mm for the main light ring so i can over lap them , just need to know if they do bend or if they are very rigid ???

no mate there not bendy the most they will move is about 5mm

forget that idea then , thanks cowboy i,ll wait and see how yours turn out before starting mine . i may do the fog lights and full beam lights instead of side by side have the stacked on top of each other

pics, needs to be dark to get good ones

yeah cowboy they look good gonna have to get my rings ordered in the new year and get the headlights cracked open to get the insides colour coded

well i just found the same rings in 70mm so ill be fitting them aswell, as the one on each side dont look that good

I took my headlight unit out today in an attempt to clean them up, but the dirt was inside. How do you open the unit up because i was thinking of making some angel eyes while the unit it apart

hot air gun,heat up and gently prize apart

thanks Frary. i just found the 'how to' on headlights. *duh*
will keep this thread updated as to how i get on with the angel eyes...

They are looking very nice Karl. I might consider doing them myself

Look forward to seeing it together with the 70mm ones.

Yes, they look good. I agree that having both the 100 and 70 mm rings in place would look better. Look forward to seeing them when you've fitted Karl.

By the way, once you've figured it out how long do you think it would take a person to do the job following a how-to or similar?

I'm with nismo on the point that minimising the gap on the ring as much as possible would be a good idea. I wonder if that is possible?

Steve

i have hunted flee bay to see if i can find some complete rings but have only found a kit in blue with 100mm and 84mm rings , so i'm gonna do what cowboy has done as i still like the look of them but i may do the gap at the top instead of at the bottom to see if it hides the gap more .

cowboy - do you have a link ( if your getting them off ebay )or a web address to the 70mm rings as i can't find anywhere that does them cheers if you can help m8

they do look karl and from a distance you don't realy see a gap anyway .

mr cooper
how to will take 2 days nearly all is drying time,i will give you link for 70mm when i get mine as i dont no if they are right our not yet,lets have just one skint Guinea Pig,just to make sure they match iv got 100mm and 70mm gomming so there wont be any more waiting once they arrive

i'm liking the single circle, i almost looks like your coupe is looking at me

plus you wouldnt even realise you had the smaller eyes when youve got your dipped beam on!



have you got HID's? the rings look slighty off colour compared with your sides and dipped.

But very well done to you, good work

ninja

not to keen on these http://img362.imageshack.us/img362/7462/81520710ei4.jpg
as you can see the gap more but i get the idea of what they will look like with the gap at the top ( think you got it right cowboy ) . its like they used 90mm and 50mm rings so the gaps are worse . no problem cowboy you can be the Guinea Pig m8 then just pass us the info we need to get it right the first time . thanks for your help cowboy and i await to see the out come pic's with both rings installed .

Well i'm starting mine tomorrow as i now have a spare coupe and thinking along the lines of either finding some bmw's angel eyes at a breakers, therefore no gap, or, laying one set over another but modifying the light cup so i can set the rings further back so you cat really see the rings when the lights are off, not going body coloured with the lights tho as think it looks sh**, but thats just my opinion tho, i think coupes have awesome styling with black pillars, lights and grill just think it would ruin it but i'll inform you guys on how they come along

hi steve, dont forget to take pics mate

Yeah will do dont worry, prob wot see any for a while tho, will prob put them all up when they're finised.

steveo , there are some complete rings on flee bay but the small rings are 84mm and big rings are 100mm so the small rings would need sorting out to get them to fit nicely , keep us posted with your pics as i would like to see how they turn out .

well i got the 70mm super bright rings and there the same as the bloody soft one plus when in place they dont seat right like the big one does,so it looks like its back to the drawing board,any one with ideas,iv seen these and ask if he will send 100,s and 70mm cos in the add it says 4 of the same size

Mine are coming together at the mo and looking rather tasty will do a lil write up when their finished, oh and pics but not yet

Got some other lil bits going on too at the mo, fibre glass speaker pods with 2" tweeters, direct replacement for the factory top of dash ones, made so the tweeters face into the car. Also fibre glassed and colour coded interior a pillar covers so the gauge pods are blended in, oh and the indicators in the wing mirrors

good on you mate,so which rings did you go with
