'Angel Eye' headlight mod

**Uncle_Ken** · 30-10-2005, 05:35 PM

Hi all, A quick question,
Has anyone heard/seen this headlight mod. Its for sale on eBay. The add has a lot of images it reads:

" What is that? 'Angel Eye' is a cool headlight feature found on the new BMW 5 Series. The projector headlamp unit on the BMW 5 series has a pair of circular-shape rings that when light up, they produce a pair of halos. BMW calls them 'Angel Eyes'. They are also referred to as 'Demon Eyes'. They look very nice on the BMW 5 Series.
This conversion could be pretty expensive, but a car fanatic, I have found ways around all the high prices. YOU CAN DO BOTH OF THESE MODIFICATIONS FOR $30 IN PARTS AND 3 HOURS OF WORK!"

kerry aka TIKFD6 had this on his car looked pretty good he sent me a pic but i deleted it i think it would only work on cars with round headlight set ups ie XR's

**Uncle_Ken** · 30-10-2005, 05:54 PM

So is does it work for standard AU lights? Whats the trick?
I am guessing that this has already been posted.

you make up a round plastic ring and make it light up by led's.

only looks good on round lights

you need to put little grooves into the plastic rings so that the light can refract/reflect outwards, otherwise it'll stay mostly within the ring. It's these grooves that give off the "halo" look.

I think part of the difficulty with doing this mod however is that you'll probably ruin the water-tight seel on the headlight

LUXO_8 · 30-10-2005, 07:55 PM

argon, yep http://www.geocities.com/jvxdriver/eagle_eyes.htm is the one i had

klawsterfobik · 30-10-2005, 08:25 PM

HLC · 30-10-2005, 08:55 PM

They look good & would be good on the round twin light on the XR & any BA. The only problem i have is having to make them my self.

Rodp · 31-10-2005, 09:28 AM

I don't mind the look of them on the Beems and as suggested they'd really only work on a round headlight.. would probably look good on an XR

fiery · 31-10-2005, 10:35 AM

I hope to have them on my car very soon...well going to give it a go anyway!
The instructions for them seem relatively straight forward

Sagerian · 31-10-2005, 10:59 AM

Soooo... This ebay action is for the instructions? Which you can find on the net anyway....

fiery · 31-10-2005, 11:19 AM

I didnt check the auction out, I just followed the link from one of the members that posted it a few posts ago

Hmmmm a certain model belonging to a certain person with a certain colour, would look sweeeeeeeeeeeet.

IF you make those LED's *RED* (per pic and steady burning or not) at the front, I can promise your client a defect, or at best an infringement.

they are sweet...but I dont know how good they would look on a e series XR front...

BMW's have them inside a larger headlight, so if done right I think it would look better on a standard headlight.

I would like to do it to, but perhaps EL healdights are too narrow...

LethalLeigh · 26-05-2006, 05:56 PM

The do seem to suit the more recent style of round headlight behind glass cover. Maybe I should invest in some WQ Fiesta headlights.

I have seen them done on an E-series.. it was either an EF or EL XR... I will go through my pics and see if I still have pics of it.. otherwise I can see if Vegabass does (he is friends with the owner of that particular car)...

They looked good... and they didn't cost very much to make..
I have the instructions here somewhere on how to make them and I am pretty sure the maximum cost to make them was around $50 (but could be wrong)..
