Halo/Angel Eyes Installation
 
Has anyone in our area done this or attempted a DIY with the installation of these lights. I saw someone from Pamona has a DIY guide up that i will probably be using if no one up here has done it lol

I really want to install these, i dont want LED's because they dont look as good when the car is off So i guess im going with CCFL then right?

Any Tips?
Local Vendors?
Possible installation?!
Help?! lol
:thanks:

Not sure the timeframe you have on getting this done but I have the headlights to do next. When you speak of "halo, angel eyes", are you referring to actually making/installing LEDs inside? I'm actually just going to paint majority of the chrome and leave a strip or two of chrome as 'highlights'. I'm not installing anything else into the housing.

I would like too open the headlight and just place a ring of CCFL lights in there. The biggest part is just getting h&r headlight off and opening it without damaging anything. The kit of lights is only like 70 and is pretty easy to install once you get the headlight open lol
I'm in no hurry but this is my next task I would like to tackle

What's your timeframe for your headlights?

A month or two...whenever schedules at home permits it. When you find a reliable source sooner, go for it.

this is cool. I'm planning on doing mine too just waiting to get the retrofitsource HID kit. I'd be down to drive to your place too to get mine done. I'll donate for your service man. :)
