Halo/angel eye rings soon to be installed
 
Whats up guys, just wanted to get a thread out..any day im going to be getting and installing these halo rings inside my painted HID headlight housings, so ill make sure to get some pics up. I set it up to get the first 8000k rings instead of the blue ones advertised..they need a little more modification before theyre going to be ready to sell to the public, but im going to try and get a deal and group buy going. Stay tuned for some pics this week. Heres the blue ones they have listed right now

Those look pretty bad ass man, and would look especially good on a white 8.

05rex8 08-04-2008 10:09 PM

:drool: pretty blue lights....................

NgoRX8 08-04-2008 10:32 PM

interesting, i'd like to see them installed and working during daylight.

imput1234 08-04-2008 10:34 PM

I think those will look good in the night, but not sure during daytime.

NgoRX8 08-04-2008 10:49 PM

true, they'll look good at night, but i want to see what they'll look like in the day time.

i love the look of the halos on bmw's during daylight.

BRGREEN8 08-04-2008 11:49 PM

damn that looks nice.

TopGear8 08-05-2008 12:11 AM

Yeah if the price is good I would definitally be interested in them. Lets see some pics!!

Alucard 08-05-2008 05:22 AM

interested... cant wait to see how they turn out

db_8 08-05-2008 08:42 AM

how would this be installed? i thought baking the headlights was pretty hard and risky...

Krazed_Rx8 08-05-2008 10:02 AM

Those look hawt :lol:

lancer 08-05-2008 01:08 PM

let me know when you do a group buy. It look nice. love to have it.

perks11 08-05-2008 01:30 PM

Those will look sick on a WWP 8. im the same way as everyone else i wanna see pics.

rddragoness 08-05-2008 04:21 PM

Definitely an interest in the 8000k ones as well. I don't think the blue would go well with the CR.

2tone 08-05-2008 07:54 PM

sweet!! i love that they did both circular parts and not just the main headlights. def need the white lights for all non-white cars - don't want blue lights on my bb. i think day time would look just as sweet.

^^no, the tails can't be baked, i don't think there has been any major difficulties baking the headlights.

would these have a separate switch wired? or would it take the place of the parking lights??

gukdoebabdoe 08-05-2008 10:05 PM

too expensive for 4 rings that light up and a few wires.

on the site they said its 199$

Aipex8 08-05-2008 11:50 PM

Here's a pic of the white from their website:

i baked my tail lights just fine. it wasn't to take them apart though, just to get the moisture out.

moRotorMotor 08-06-2008 08:23 AM

I have a question. Are these designed to be used without headlights on? I know the lighting it provides isn't sufficient, but all the pictures I can find are with the headlights off. Just wondering if it is for visual purposes or something.

They should be bright enough to work as DRL's (like BMW's), but since DRL's aren't required in the US they are mostly just for looks.

I think he specifically meant that they can't be baked to take apart. I baked mine for dinner and it worked fine too :lol:

DrewMan 08-07-2008 09:23 PM

heat gun works just as well


just make sure you dont turn it up too high because you might kill it!

shakeyourbrakes 08-07-2008 09:32 PM

guys, taillights cant be baked open...impossible theyre fused together. Headlight can, I did it to paint them, check out my previous thread with pics.. The update is these should be here next week im guessing, hes telling me theyre finishing up with the installation instructions on the 8000k ones, then they will be here. I figured blue is obviously illegal, so why would i install them as running lights, but I got a killer deal since im the first to get the 8000k ones so im trying to be patient. Ill keep everyone posted when the get here and get in the lights.

perks11 08-08-2008 01:10 PM

that video is kinda cool imma have to look into this. thanks

NgoRX8 08-08-2008 01:42 PM

I don't think i'll ever get it personally, but I really wanna see someone with it. haha

Krazed_Rx8 08-08-2008 02:20 PM

So whens the GB starting??? :lol:

I'll be looking forward to seeing the end product... I'm hesitant myself to crack open the headlights. I just don't want to risk getting moisture inside. Can you just use the factory glue when you are sealing it back again or do you use something different?

shakeyourbrakes 08-26-2008 09:34 AM

ive opened them three times with no problem. The factory glue is fine, I put extra silicone to be sure though. Someone on here just installed the 6000k kit on non hid headlights and they came out good..ill have my 8000k rings on my HID, painted housings within a week once I get my car back from the dealer so keep an eye out for some pics and a group buy.

bose 08-26-2008 10:49 AM

I defiantly want in on the group buy.

Jethro Tull 08-26-2008 12:05 PM

Can someone describe the visual difference between 6000K, 8000K, and 10000K? Is it a difference in tint or brightness, or both?

Zelse 08-26-2008 01:11 PM

Looks cool Shake..but you never gave me a rang when we were gonna get together to do mine..Remember? :/

My bad zelse, ive been dealing with moving for the past month..im set up now about 40 minutes from boston, so once I get my car back ill give you a PM for sure. Im going to be opening my lights up this week prob to get these installed, so maybe we can meet up then and just do both sets..ill keep ya posted for sure.

For the other post above.. 6000k = cool white
8000k = bluish white
10000k = purpleish blue
google hids and youll see some pictures of each

The higher the temp the less light that will appear, I currently have 8000ks and they look great (blue/white) but there is noticeably less light than the stock hids

Zelse 08-26-2008 03:06 PM

Sounds like a plan man, definitely let me know. RotaryRasp was supposed to sell me some E30 projector lens but he never got back to me. :(

he might have been a little busy since his engine caught fire recently.

Jedi54 08-26-2008 03:18 PM

those look pretty sweet.

NgoRX8 08-26-2008 03:26 PM

nope, can't. rodger cut the back of brake lights open to do his. plastics are fused together.

Jedi54 08-26-2008 03:27 PM

ngo: you should get these...

Zelse 08-26-2008 04:27 PM

yep. you never want to hear that about anyone but even worse when it happens to such a good guy. he's been dealing with it for a few weeks but i just noticed it when i saw it in the FS thread he started:

XRX8X 08-26-2008 08:48 PM

shakeyourbrakes 08-26-2008 10:26 PM

ill have mine in this week, and ill get a bunch of pics posted in this thread. Im in the process of emailing back and forth with the company right now to get a group deal. They gave me a great deal, in return im going to give them pics of my lights and car for their website...so im sure theyll work out a great price. I also need to get the group buy approved by mods here. Check for more details by the end of this week, ill def get something going because these rings are quality..i havnt mounted them, but ive lit them up and theyre super bright, and match 8000k quality great.

nuke0907 08-30-2008 12:41 PM

any pics with these yet? i want to get the blue ones but i don't want them to turn on when my lights are on.

PBlue 09-02-2008 09:37 AM

wont buy em, but i wanna see...
