DIY : Double Neon Angel Lights

this is way brighter then the LED angel lights I donno how long it will last but dam rite it looks good






With just Ring on

with Ring on, lowbeam on

with Ring off, lowbeam on


so here's a DIY
I used four of this Roung Cold Cathode Fan neon lights by Sunbeamtech all had diameter of 80mm and you can find it in the computer store
since computer parts and our car uses same 12v there wont be any problems with converting voltages this kit includes a fan(not needed), neon, switch(not needed) wires, and inverter
I used four of this neons

first take your bumper off and so as your headlight

take your headlight apart and you will have this part on your hand

screw off the original LED angel light

drill a small holes into red dots

cut off four edges of plastic cover to make it round

put the neon ring on, get the wiring out to the back and hold the ring with wires



now you are done with the lowbeam light now for the high beam light,
drill two holes on highbeam/daylight which will be used to hold the rings

put the neon rings without the plastic cover

put back the headlights,seal it and connect it to the inverter


do the wiring and you are ready to rock

I had case fans in my fog light holes for a long time and they lasted LONG... plus they were continually getting doused by rain.

Nice... I'd rock those in red. I was thinking about doing that a long time ago but I was way way too lazy to open up my headlights again.

^^ theres some DIY of taking the head light apart in this site if you search
inverter is a thing that changes low voltage(12v) to high voltage(620v) which will light up the neons. it's included in the kit.

an inverter changes a dc voltage into (somewhat) an ac voltage...i'm not exactly sure how much a neon takes...but all i know is that it uses high voltage and very little current...same way a night light works...the main point is that in order for it to work a change in voltage is needed...hence alternating the voltage...

Nice I did that with T1 11,000 MCD LEDS and wired another set over the high beams just like you did. The neon is way brighter. The only way we could get it that bright without neon is if we found some way to use fiber optics like BMW's. Looks good!

It's Still Good! Cold or Hot
but it seems sometimes it needs about 1~2 seconds of worming up before it's fully bright. hope it gets throught this winter!
