these can be done DIY.
There selling the ring kit on Ebay UK for 2.99 each plus 11.99 postage. So you could have both sets over to UK for under 20!
Worth giving it ago yourself. Someones done it on here before, do a search.

I'm in a similar boat here, i have recently recieved the colour coded internals of my headlights back from the body shop  But i have been contemplating the idea of angel eyes while they are apart  The angels eyes on german ebay are made from bent perspex rod with nocthes in them that carry the light (there are a few tutorials via google), they look very nice but are too expensive (plus i would have to seperate them and get the internal colour coded again  ) The first set of angel eyes i saw on here were form HK, and they were made by using ultrabright neon wire from litewave.co.uk and this was the idea i was probably going to go with (i think maruisz posted a small guide somewhere?) The angel eyes posted above (by bockers) look a bit cheap, and they are (money wise), my problem is that the two rings are the same size for each inverter, meaning you would have to buy 2 different sets (1 x 60, 1 x 100) then swap it so you had (1 x 60 and 1 x 100) for each inverter, or extend the wire to the other side of the bonnet, which too much hassle for me. But cowboy i think you might be onto something with the audi stlye running lights, i have seen them previuosly on you tube (some guy put them under his side lights, looked a bit cack tbh) i think the reason yours dont work is there a too few ?? although i am quite liking the idea of the 'M' shape light rather than the 'patented' angel eye. still i will be interested to see how you get on  Ninja

Karl, those leds on the pics above may look ok at the bottom of the light unit running horizontally just on the bottom edge of the light. Have you tried that? Also, I reckon you hold the title now for the most accessorised coupe in the UK! Anyone disagree? ;-)

Quick q. If you were to run with angel eyes in the headlights would it be ok to run without the OE sidelights? I ran without the sidelights connected for a short while (not through choice, the wires broke on one of the bulbs  ) and I much prefered the look without them, more aggresive looking coupe FTW!

i am just going with the one on each side Damn you, thats what i was going for  my headlights are still apart and i'm still waiting for the eye(s!?) to turn up  colour coded internals, single 100mm on each side and standard side lights, should look pretty good i think, and its a bit different to the usual OO_______OO. Well if you got any pics please post (before i continue  ) ninja

Here you can see how i made my own angel eyes ... and to repeat the materials cost me about 15 Evro http://www.fiatcoupeclub.org/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=722854&fpart=2 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 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fiat-Coupe-Scheinwerfer-Angel-Eyes-Headlights-Headlamps_W0QQitemZ120341402653QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAutoteile_Zubeh%C3%B6r?hash=item120341402653&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A4%7C65%3A10%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318 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 ...

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 ???

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?

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 . http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g45/cowboykarl/Picture015-1.jpg

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.jpgas 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

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 .

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

2 inverters and 4 rings is how the guy is selling them but they have to be the same size so its best if two people buy them then you can split the order ( 4 x 100mm & 4 x70mm )so you both get 2 x 70mm rings on 1 inverter & 2 x 100mm rings on 1 inverter .

if anyone is sending for these lights from this guy please state my nick name cowboy and you will get two sets for 99 dollers Cowboy, just wondering if these are any good as there really cheap £3.99, and they do 100, 70 and 60mm rings in soft white. I may order the cheap ones as i'm always looking to save a few pounds. ebay halo rings Also, did the 70mm ones not fit because they were slightly too big? if so i'll get the 60mm ones and feed back on how they fit.

They look that rubbish then? I might leave it then as £70-90 needs to be spent on othr things right now, shame as I have a spare set of headlights apart.

Now someones thinkin  you could do it but getting access to the inside of the lights is impossible without cutting off the lenses. So you'd have to be very very careful!

Me. I think.... I hate to say it but i think we might be onto a winner here.
You'd need a hot-wire cutter or something of the like to remove the lense covers though if you wanted to make it look pro.
With any luck owing to the thinness of the light rings you might not have to cut out the inside of the light to make it fit like i had to with LED's.

ok just an update , got my 100mm and 70mm rings this morning thanks to cowboy and had a trial fit and found that the 70mm rings are just a tad to big and don't look right ( 100mm fit like a glove ) so it back to how i was gonna do it in the first place , took the side/fog lights out and have fitted the 70mm rings to the fog lights so instead of side by side they will be on top of each other , will get some pic's up when i have finished wiring them in . http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll102/r33-skyline/DSC00090.jpg

nice work with the 'How to' nismo, i was going to do one myself but you beat me too it  Personally i'm sticking with my original plan, just having 100mm rings in the main headlights and keeping the standard sidelight. i will try and post some pics this evening. where have you mounted the inverter on your headlights?

had another fiddle today and have managed to get the side/fog lights wired up but found that if you extend the wire from the inverter to the angel eye to long the angel eye will look dim so you need to make sure that the inverter is in the middle of the angel eyes and the wires are the same lenth . i put one inverter in behind my front grill and one in the middle of my bonnet behind the heat/sound sheild . have also sealed my headlights back up so when they are dry i will install them and thats it done . without covers http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll102/r33-skyline/coversoff-1.jpgwith covers http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll102/r33-skyline/coverson.jpgas you can see from the above pic's the right light is not as bright as the left due to a longer wire on the right .

right a quick update....wired up the angel/eyes to the front fogs today & bloody hell the backs of them, the carboardy bit with foil have melted due to my fog lights  the silver bit that covers the join fell off as well  its the heat from the fogs that have done it...all sorted now, everything works fine, ive even wired up an extra/long wire for the main beam angel/eyes, when the time comes  anyone else come across this....

ive managed to close mine this evening Open 1 Open 2 Open 3 Closed 1 Closed 2 I'm sticking to just having the larger eyes in mine, i think main beam and fog lights is a little too much. with this in mind ive fitted the invertors inside the light unit (one in each) and run a connecting wire through the case. this way the cables stay the same length as manufactured  will hopefully fit them the weekend  Ninja

So will your angel eyes only come on with the headlights then, not with the side lights?

Yeh. The only thing i had to think about when wiring them into the side lights was that you have to run the cable all the way along the inside of the bonnet and back to the front, because there are no side light connections in the light cluster on the bonnet (if you get what i mean?)

If I go for this I think I'll go for ninja's setup. Would be interested to see what that looks like when it's up and going. When you have a pic with just the sidelights and another with the headlights on please post them.
Karl, is it not possible to have the sidelights and the angel eyes running at the same time. Your pic appears to have the angels in the fogs and on the main beams on along with the headlights, but no sidelights?

Just spotted this thread, and really like the look of the ones from the US.
So the two sets for 99 dollars im guessing your asking for one set of 100mm for the mains and one set of 71mm for the fogs? Giving a total of 4 x 100mm and 4 x 71mm so you can go halvers with another forum member?

Fair enough cowboy, but why are the sidelights not on (i.e. the ones next to the fogs)?

if anyone want a set of 71mm rings (for the fog lights) i have a spare set? i'm not going to use them, but you will need an invertor.

I'm guessing he has removed them as i beieve if they are fitted they have to work for legal reasons?
Anyone want to go halfes on a set of rings with me? But why would they not work?

Think standard side lights next to the angel eyes in the fogs would look a bit naff.

But if you did not have the angel eyes in the fogs (only around the main beam) would/could the sidelights work?

Thanks Karl, that's interesting.
When you say took them out do you mean removed the bulb or are you talking something more significant? How confident are you that the coop would pass its MOT with the angels in the fogs but no traditional sidelight? Is it a given?
I have to say that if there's a no sidelight option that does make the stacked angel-eye more attractive to my mind's eye - looking at your image again.

I don`t see any problem with the MOT,as long as they are both working and light up with a white light then they should be fine  . Baz

Well got mine fitted so here are some pics  On daylight Daylight 1 Daylight 2 Daylight 3 Daylight 4 I spliced into the side lide wiring just after the main connect near where the OE intercooler sits (yellow + / black -) ran the wire up past the battery and then followed the original lighting wire up the inside of the bonnet (under the lining). an inline fuse has been fitted just before where the wires split for the headlights and connectors have been installed at each light so i can disconnect easily in the case of removal  Install pics Install 1 Install 2 Install 3 And i tried for some night pics but my camera is pants Nighttime 1 Nighttime 2 I am very happy with them  and ive just ordered some pure white leds for my sidelights Ninja

This is nice. Is there a how-to for the headlight fittings at all?

Ok, so an update on project angel eyes - i finally got round to sealing the headlight unit and fitting them/wiring them in. I decided to take the bulbs out of the sidelight as it was just too much. Here they are: [IMG] http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q43/sammocammo/CIMG3085.jpg[/IMG] (A HID upgrade is next on the cards btw)

To be brutally honest here, I dont like the multi individual led bulb look, but each to their own....
I'm an old git & happy with it,most of the time
