what exactly did you do?

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What did you do ---your pics show NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!

Did you put some neon in there or something???

If you made them red, I can tell. I don't know why you would, it takes away from the effectiveness of the foglamp. In my state foglamps are not allowed to be any other color than normal. If it is only for show then why bother unless you are going to sit in a dark parking lot in the mall and have people look at your car. Don't mean to flame your idea. Don't take it the wrong way please.

The pictures aren't the greatest, but yes they are angel eyes. It looks A LOT better in person... but you are right about them not being legal, I have a kill switch to disable them when I see a cop. My foglights are still there and when turned on, the red doesn't show. If I can get a better picture it'd make a lot more sense. It's hard though with the flash you lose the redness and without the flash things get blurry... if only i can post what my eyes see lol.

lol... to be exact... they are home made angel eyes. I made some for my friends BMW so I decided to make a ring around my lights, but I didn't wanna open up the headlamps so I just did the fogs. Thanks for at least takin a guess to what I did silverawd26

Any way you can show how you made them?I love the angel eye look heehee

What are angel eyes?

Angel Eyes are the ring of light around the headlights of BMW 5 series. I have a red ring around my fog lights. So I guess they'd be called Demon Eyes. Here are pics before they were put on my car.

I don't think I've ever seen those on a BMW before...And either way, what's the purpose of them?

ohhh...i know what you mean now.so they have no purpose other than asthetics...no functional purpose i should say...

Not really, but havin them in red is a real eye catcher... especially for the cops... that's why I put in a kill switch lol

O.K. I'll start over:what did you make them from is what we want to know or can they be purchased. how do you install them. ya know the basics

oooohhhh!!!! We all have mini blinds in our house... u know that rod that we flip open the blinds with??? Well those are almost "instant" angel eyes I hooked them into my parking lights and into a kill switch. I have the option of having the fog lights, the angel eyes on, both, or neither. If you want more detailed info, let me know... I'll be happy to let you know. They sell these angel eye kits for 60 on ebay, professionally done, lights and everything (BMW only) for 200+. I'm trying to sell them... but for how much??? I don't know lol

Get closeups...I really can't figure out what and how you did this...Do a step-by-step creation if you can...

that's asking a lot, but I will try to

here's the first step

Why not just post the site with all the steps? http://students.washington.edu/ashis/Cr ... 20Eyes.htm

True but that's not the one I used but it'll do lol

The ring is only a C shape cuz it's his preference... if you make the cuts all the way around it will be a full circle... he wanted eagle eyes... I made Angel/demon eyes. They sell them on e-bay but for BMWs for like 60-300

quote:Why not just post the site with all the steps? http://students.washington.edu/ashis/Cr ... Eyes.htmso cool and so easy!! Hmm nothin to do this weekend.

Now I have a question. If you took the acrylic rods off of your miniblinds to put them into your fog lights, how do you open and close your blinds???

You can buy extra/replacement rods at Home Depot or Lowe's...

.....ah ha.

quote:You can buy extra/replacement rods at Home Depot or Lowe's...yeah they're real cheap, like a 1.79. And the LEDs are like 2-3 bucks at Radio shack... it's a really fun thing to make... hope whoever makes them has fun with it

I think I might go ahead and make a pair to go around my Hella supertones behind the grill :DThese 2 red circles facing you in the front .... heeheeheeheeheeheeheeAnother one of my dreams ... ah well, I'll see how I can work it out, I would want there to be a kill switch in the dash - perhaps using the space for one of those buttons that is empty... hmmmWe'll see I guess

I like this version a little better. http://www.team-integra.net/sections/ar ... icleID=555 It's more of a complete circle and brighter with 2 bulbs.

quote:I like this version a little better.It's more of a complete circle and brighter with 2 bulbs.to make them a complete circle, just cut all around... the version also suggests using two bulbs...

I made this the other night, thought I would post it.This is what I am envisioning for the rings around Hella horns - what do you guys think?

what is that? neon wire? its kinda cool, but i prefer the original i think

Cool stuff.

I like Geo's idea, but my friend pointed out to me that they kinda look like nostrils.

anyone put different color turn signal bulbs in their car?i want to get blue but i dont know how to do it since theres that yellow plastic piece inside.

quote:anyone put different color turn signal bulbs in their car?i want to get blue but i dont know how to do it since theres that yellow plastic piece inside.don't think that legal. superion81, how did you get the fog lights apart? heat them up till the glue melts?

yea it is illegal but i dont care i wont get pulled over im always looking out for cops anyway

famous last words isn't that what bonnie and clyde said

took apart a fog light and tried out the angel eyes, well they are not together yet, but I have a few questions how do ya glue the lens and case back together, wouldn't heating them up burn up the angel eyes?could you use a high temp sealer and clamp them together?how did you make the circle since the fog lights are oval? I put on some leather gloves and molded it inside the case did you run the wire through the vent hole? I drilled it out so both wires would fit through

what you do is take the angel eyes out of the fog lights... heat them up in the oven... then before you put them together... position the angel eyes inside... The glue should still be hot... position them and clamp them together... don't forget about running the wire... then you are set to run the wiring... let me know if you have any questions...

just curious... how bright does the light go through your fogs???

sorry I meant driving lights.started to remove the second lens and ..............CRACK...... sh*t.....so I heated up the first one and ran the wire thought the hole and it melted the wire cover and the lens didn't stay on...........I'm depressed gonna go and get new lights and start over. bet they will be expensive.

wow sorry to hear that... but with the driving lights... wouldn't it be hard to get them to shine through the DRL?
