I already bought angel eye projectors. But this DIY is pretty neat. I might try it with some of my friends one day.

Um why are u thanking Grey?
It is an easy process it looks like. We are actually doing a few people's headlights (subaru 2.5rs, MP5). We will probably have a bunch to do. I know how to clear lights so it shouldn't take that long, but I will take pics.

Hmm... Not a bad idea. The TYC projectors would be good candidates for this DIY. If I ever get the TYC projectors then I may try this DIY. You could bury the LED's on either end of the rod by drilling out a hole for them in the rod. Then you'de probably want a good way to mount them inside the projector. Maybe glueing them to the rim of the circle shapes? Maybe drilling out holes at the base of the circle shapes to fit the rod into. Maybe maybe. I guess that hexagonal shape is okay, but I would get a circle. That is if you can find a circular acrylic rod somewhere. Wait a moment, mcmaster.com might have it.

you can find 12v LEDs at any Radio Shack. They have the resistors that you're gonna need too.
I just ordered a set of the angel eye projectors. I might try adding another halo around the high beam and replacing the halo around the low beam.

If the 'holiday traffic' subsides any time soon you can see the halo rings we installed on my friends 2000 civic.

oved, that looks good, but only if the car is parked. i bet you can barely see the angel eye rings when the headlights are turned on. that's why projectors are the best candidate.

well i suggest making the wiring and lights before you get to the car. I am making the lights first and a general circle which i will make smaller once i take out my headlights. If you make the lights first it will be much easier. making a DIY for the lights tonight hopefully.

here are some pics of my LED lights. When I am done, I will have the full DIY. I used heat shrink instead of solder and a glue gun to hold the lights together.
