i will actually be trying that with my boys the first week of January. I will probably put the ring either around my parking light or half a ring around the headlight. I will most def take good DIY pics. Peace

Wow thats pretty cool........thanks for the info Grey.[hr]
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.

OOppppss......I meant Speedracersong.
SORRY!!!!
Thank you robbclark1? Are you happy?[IMG]i/expressions/moon.gif[/IMG]
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.

so no one knows where i cna find 12v white leds for this project?
and can some one draw a diagram on how to wire?
im willing to make a good diy if i can find all these parts.
im getting a digicam soon
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.
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.
i got my 12v LEDs at a radio shack in the mall. They are in a little cabinet with diodes and connectors. There was a drawer marked LED lights. Want me to ship some to ya? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

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.
K3wl, I would do this if I had the TYC's. Hey, who knows... Maybe I'll do this when I get the TYC's. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]
Looks good so far...
that seems like a kool project. from what ive been reading the x3 racing angel eyes kinda suck. and its hard to see the halo's. could we just possibily make the led brighter or even add another led to make it better?
im probably gonna do mines and put it around the main headlight bulb. anyone know how i could wire it so that it comes on with the parking lights but goes off when the headlights are on?
I was just about to post this link. Good thing I saw this thread before I posted.
