I would be willing to bet your angel eyes are BRIGHTER than the BMW. I just sold my 540 w/angel eyes and I can tell you they are not bright at all....in fact they use a small ,dim 7 watt (or so) bulb as I had to change mine once. The optics may be better on the BMW, however. Have you compared the cars side-to-side? The BMW is definitely more amber, which I didn't like.

 

these angel eyes are NOT as bright as most bmw angel eyes (like the ones you see at shows). there is no way you can drive at night with only the eyes on. they pretty much are bright where they are, but they do not illuminate. they are also pure white

as far as i know these dont take much power at all. i will try to find out how much they take. all your other lights except for parking lights will remain functional

it looks like some sort of thin tube that is being lit, no LEDs as far as i can tell

prices for side markers are further up, and yes we can make them both skyline. we prefer to make them with clear corners, but PM me for details on amber ones if you have an amber theme.<P ID="edit"><FONT class="small"><EM>Edited by g35lin on 03/15/04 09:50 AM.</EM></FONT></P>

 

can you talk to your friend on how he made this and parts?
you should at least give the people here that option for the adventurous type.
after all its all about sharing the wealth on the fourms right?

 

Well, its not my call so......i'll try but no guarantees. I doubt he will since he thought of this.

 

Here's some info for DIYers. Let me know if you want to tackle the FX headlights for me

You can buy the real BMW rings off of Ebay. Just search for angel eyes or demon eyes. For example:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2466694398

This kit uses 12,000 mcd led, BMW supposedly uses a small halogen lamp.

Also here is a DIY angel eyes website

thoes are are both good ways to do angel eyes, however neither yields a complete solid circle like the ones on my car. i actualy looked into doing it thoes ways, but i was afraid the pre-made bmw rings wouldent fit properly, and i found that that the acrylic cant handle the high temperatures at the top of the headlight. we actualy tried this and my top ring started melting!!!!

 

Here are some pics without the neon in the center blinding everyone. Also note that this was taken when there is some light signing in the garage. It is probably a bit brighter than the one i show you. <P ID="edit"><FONT class="small"><EM>Edited by g35lin on 03/16/04 09:35 AM.</EM></FONT></P>
