What would it take to have the 04-07 angel eyes kit work on the new 09 headlights? Or do you have plans to make a kit for them in the future? Thanks -Brad

not bad. i wonder how these look when actually lit up on the road. that's the eye catching thing about them bmws.

TheGreatLouisianaRoadkill 09-05-2008 09:01 PM

trust me, they pop on the road. even more so than some of the bmws. they even stand out when i have my headlights on. worth the time and money.

CTrx8 09-06-2008 07:30 AM

i like it.

nvrfalter 09-06-2008 10:31 AM

are you refering to my small parking lights? if so, can you tell me where i can get some? that yellow is really killing me, and i would love to get either a pure white or blue light for it.

yes. here is a page full of bulbs you can put in there that will all be very close to an HID color.

Rotary_Power 09-06-2008 07:05 PM

They look awesome. Congrats.

shakeyourbrakes 09-10-2008 12:21 AM

still trying to get a sec to get some pics..they look great in the white painted housings with my 8000k blue/white HIDs.. ill get pics tommorrow hopefully

djcharlee 09-14-2008 03:36 AM

Pics with lights on Head on Shot... and some far away shots at night with and without Headlights on Please!!
Thanks

Kris 09-14-2008 09:27 AM

alot of the civics / Mazda 3's / 6's have these now. They were cool at first, but i think they are more suited to the originators BMW.

shakeyourbrakes 09-14-2008 11:17 AM

Well heres some pics..my inside smaller rings are out for now because I yanked on the wire during installation and cracked it. New ring should be in within a week so Ill get some new pics up of the full set up. These are the 8000k rings, which as you can see, match the 8000k HIDs pretty well.

SOOOOOOOOOO...

when's the group buy?? :)

looks great btw

shakeyourbrakes 09-14-2008 11:30 AM

Ill send the company an email today and try to arrange something. Ill try for a price around 120 and see if theyll do it with at least 10 people in.. Ill keep everyone posted

Atilla 09-14-2008 11:35 AM

damn...i need to upgrade to some HID's

btw - will this work with the standard non-HID setup??

shakeyourbrakes 09-14-2008 02:23 PM

same light..just less to lose if you f$#k up heating them and separating the housing..so yea they will work. Just a heads up, the inside smaller ring takes a little skill, you have to notch out the housing a little so the ring can fit on there. Took me about an hour per light between repainting the inside of the housing to match the car, mounting the rings and installing the wiring

Zelse 09-14-2008 05:13 PM

Lookin good man. I'm guessing we're not getting together to do mine. lol Whatever I guess

thebiggdaddy 09-14-2008 06:04 PM

i think it would much better if the headlight wasn't painted.

Aipex8 09-16-2008 01:37 PM

That looks pretty good, I actually like it better with just the big ring, kind of sets them apart from the dual ring BMW's. Now just put a matching color bright LED in the parking light spot.

miztic 09-30-2008 03:37 PM

Any news on the group buy? :)

shakeyourbrakes 09-30-2008 08:22 PM

working on it still..tentative price should be $99 dollars for the set

Ill keep everyone posted

Motomouse 10-01-2008 05:07 PM

sound interesting now I need a courage to open my headlights:)

shakeyourbrakes 10-01-2008 07:47 PM

im up to 7 times on my HID housings. Tried a few different colors, now im at all flat black and gunmetal metallic accents, with the halo rings. Its not a big deal, just be careful and take your time separating the housing when its hot.

Zelse 10-02-2008 07:52 AM

Still waiting Shake.. :/

shakeyourbrakes 10-03-2008 05:28 PM

actually.. yea i do. Enjoy.


For all you guys with replica MS bumpers...I just made myself a set of custom fog light brackets with some sheet metal. Came out great, now I just have to switch those bulbs for some 8000k matching halogen ones.

if anyones interested in the brackets PM me, theyre cut pretty close to the MS fog light ones

13bturbofc 11-01-2008 12:41 AM

did a group buy ever end up happening?

shakeyourbrakes 11-01-2008 08:13 PM

not yet, sent emails to the company but never heard back. If you email the company try and work out a deal through customer service before you buy, just mention rx8club.com..should give you a good discount at least

Zelse 11-01-2008 09:18 PM

Shake...lol. Dude.. You still busy? I'm still waiting for you so we can get together. :/

Z0oMzo0m 11-01-2008 09:29 PM

i like them but you have to install them yourself? may be a turn away..

Zelse 11-01-2008 10:35 PM

....L..O...L. Have you been reading AT ALL? Seriously? He installed them himself and everything. He's trying to find out if he can do group buys or stuff where he sells them already in the headlamp for a price... I don't even know WHY I answered that. -_-;;

Z0oMzo0m 11-02-2008 10:48 AM

to make me feel stupid... lolol.. yeah i was reading and skipping around. working on other things. so it didnt register into my head... idk lol

Not to revive an OLD post but why is that?

foxgoku 01-14-2009 12:35 PM

I'm curious too. Also, if the group buy is still being attempted I'd be interested as well.

TheWulf 01-14-2009 02:33 PM

Interested in the GB.... is this actually gonna happen?

dhan 01-14-2009 04:00 PM

i want this soo bad now! haha..

shakeyourbrakes 01-15-2009 04:43 AM

hey I got lazy setting up the group buy, honestly. Just email the company and im sure they can work something out with you for a good price. They gave me a discount without too much hassle. If anyone gets them, let me know if you need any info on installing them..ive been in and out of my headlights a few times

Zelse 01-15-2009 07:34 AM

Hey Shake..you back from your business trip in Afghan yet?

shakeyourbrakes 01-15-2009 10:05 AM

nope not yet..im looking at sometime in march
