Angel Eyes anyone?

[duboto]

just wanted to post mine too



oh, and I made mine myself, took about an hour to make the things and about 8 hours to install (I did the Joey Mod at the same time). I'm extremely pleased with the results, I recommend it. Doing it yourself, (including Joey Mod), costs about $30... And, I used White LEDs so I dont think that they're even illegal, heck BMWs have em...

Sorry it's taken me so long to reply, very busy at work these days.
Anyway, I made them from the clear blind rods that you can get
at Home Depot. Bake em for 10 minutes or so at 350. Found a
mug that was just a _bit_ bigger than the circumference of the
circle in the light. Bent the rod around the mug, let cool. Cut so
that the ends meet snugly. Then take a drill to the ends (once
it's cooled it'll be hard enough to drill, just bend then end out a
little). Then go to: http://www.digikey.com buy yourself
some surface mount White LEDs, 500 ohm resistors (this can
vary, I was playing it safe and allowing only about 12ma pass
through the LED, they're rated up to 30 though). Wire and
install. whew-hew. I realize this is pretty slipshod, if you're
interested in a more thurough write-up with pics, let me know.


Finally, the joey mod. Thats where you paint the reflectant
portion of the headlight to either be black or color match your car
or whatever. Well, not the entire reflectant part ofcourse, just
the part that's not really needed ... lemme see, do I have a pic....
