Here is a photoshop I did a couple of months ago:




These lights were discussed in this thread back then:

BTW, if done right, I think it would look cool as hell!

I think so too! If done correctly and not a hack job that is. Wonder if they would fit in the headlight area! Anyone e-mail the guy? The price seems kinda cheap IMO, but then again i have never priced out those headlights. I just know that "JDM" stuff can be expensive, like Japanese headlight conversions. Wonder why these are so cheap. Some one buy them! lol

The round halos don't look bad, but what about making square ones? Check out these sites on how to make your own: http://john.thelgnet.com/angel/
http://students.washington.edu/ashis...gel%20Eyes.htm

I have been thinking of making my own halos that would be square and would fit around the stock camaro lights. I just have to order the materials. What does everyone think?

And thats just the enclosures ... not even the bulbs. True HID would be another $500+. Interesting idea. They look like they're the right shape. Wonder if they'd fit. Would be easier than the 300zx headlight conversion I think. Mmmmmmm

I would like to try it, but I don't think it would fit in the headlight motor doors in my Firebird. I would love the oppertunity to get rid of my flip-up lights and have fixed lights that used H4 bulbs. HID is a really nice set of lights.

Here is a quick photoshop I did of the angel lights to my car. I am not really liking the look all the much, but it is worth looking into. I don't like the way the pop-up lights look in the front when raised.


I would love to see better at night, I think I will be looking into the fixed headlight mod as well.
