If you send them the price 300€ they will sell it to you, because 2 weeks ago they were 310€.....

Looks like they pumped up the price \:P

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.

bockers if you look at the rings on that site they seem to be bright white they will stand out way to much and you get reflection of our lenses found that out with the leds,thats why ill be trying the soft white

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 \:\)

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? ;-)

yeh there is a few mods on the car now (but),i had been thinking of putting the leds along the bottom part but its all about the reflection the lenses seem to reflect everything maybe thats why our lights are set back,ninja iv seen them lights yes they would look ok on a corsa but you need something smother on the coupe,think kelv has seen them on a coupe and he told sparkyman a big no no,so ill go with what he saz

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 \:\( ) and I much prefered the look without them, more aggresive looking coupe FTW! \:\)

Damn you, thats what i was going for \:mad\:

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 \:P )
