Angel Lights for a 04 Coupe

I was wondering where I could go about purchasing the angel lights like those used on the bimmers for a my 04 Coupe. I've found the halo rings for $200 on ebay, but is that all I need, or do I need to also purchase new head lights to fit those? Thanks!

you can buy rings from AAC but you need to take your headlights apart to install them.

they enhance the oem headlight, not really much of a comparison, easy to install, though i have never done it, my guess would be no, especially if the headlights you want to put them on are still on your g, have fun.

you are buying just the halos...not headlights. you have to take apart your headlights and install them so you are still running OEM lights.

IMO, they dont look great on coupes. it just looks weird how they are on top of each other.

Yes,

Use a relay to give them direct battery power because the parking lights don't have a solid 12 volts. Use the parking lights or a switch to trigger them.

Don't use the super glue all around the halo like the instructions say. Use a small amount of silicone on the top and give them a little room to move around as the headlight gets hot and expands/contracts. My first set cracked for that reason and my second set have been perfect for well over a year. I also had a friend at work get a set for his G and not listen to me... his cracked too.

This will give you an idea of how bright they are at night.

Sundeviljay and myself are going to be creating a group buy for the updated lights. These lights will be for all yr coupes and cheaper than AAC.


TTrank do you have the mm's for the sedan lights?

Definitely getting them. I was just afraid they were going to look cheap.
