Hey guys, so i'd like to say thanks to @Gixxersixxerman and @phanguy for helping me out with this install, the questions i asked them would probably of annoyed them after a while since i was asking so much haha; also id like to thank @Darrendrive for the awesome DIY on blacking out headlights. Well yeah, i finally blacked out and installed angels eyes onto my headlights. I kind of regret blacking out the drl reflectors since you cant see them in the morning that much anymore but once it gets dark, omg haha it looks heaps amazing with the halos, it also has a nice affect i guess since the drls slowly looks brighter when the sun goes down ^_^.
This install wasn't as hard as i thought id be, for someone who didnt know how to work a built in-oven (friken derp haha) and not know what they were doing, everything turned out smoothly so if anyone wants to do this install, id tell them to go for it since it's pretty easy

.
I bought the wrong size angel eyes (90mm) but the shroud for the jdm headlights were about 110mm or so (didnt check) but it was really big, so i had to mount the halos inside the shroud, like half way... hopefully the wires wont get loose and everything will be alright. After a while, im probably going to buy new headlights and re-do everything, (buy the correct angel eye size, paint it in satin black instead of flat black and leave the drls chrome to see how that turns out) also, my headlights have lots of drill holes in it cause i messed up...

Well here are the pictures! I'll add some pictures at night, couldnt get some yesterday since i came back home at 1am but i sat there staring at the car lights for 30 minutes haha.

Ive also realised the car seems a bit hotter than usual for some weird reason after i installed these :S
