I have a blue demon eyes oracle kit arriving tomorrow that i will be putting into me 04 RX-8. Right now i have LED's that line the bottom and outside edge of the head light. I'm taking them out because a lot of people where i live are starting to buy the cheap *** auto zone LED's and sticking em on there cars. The demon eyes look really good from what i can see on the head light. Only thing is you have to put them in yourself i couldn't find any after market headlight that came with them. I will be posting my RX-8 with a pix of the demon eyes when i have it done this weekend if you want to check it out and see if you like them.

Here is a link to the site i bought the lights from

I hope you guys know that in order to install these demon lights you have to literally bake open your headlights in your kitchen. Sure they look cool, but if you damage your headlight in the process, you are out $700(per headlight). These aren't worth the risk/effort in my opinion. Spend that cash on a Cobb AP or tires/short shifter/etc.

its true you need to be wonder if you want to take apart the head light. i have already done it to both of them already to put the LED lights in that are there now. I was very nervous when i did it first. I went to a scrap yard and got a drivers side head light and bought a passager side on that worked. That way if i broke it i had light to put back in that worked and still in good condition. I still have those light just in case i miss up taking them apart. I think that the risk is fine in my oppinion because i have the spare lights. I wouldn't be so easy of wanting to do it if i didn't cause light dshiznit pointed out they are spendy to replace from the dealer.

I baked open my headlights to install clear lenses.

It's easier than it sounds.

wow....

i hope you all realize what that is your paying $200 for... if you were to measure and know what diameter you needed and what kind of light output you wanted... you could buy this stuff for 1/4 what they charge.

Ya I realize that but I'd rather pay the 200 and buy the kit so when it's there I know I got all I need. It's only 200 dollars. I could see buying all the parts for a turbo kit instead of the whole kit cause that saves thousands of dollars
