Angel Eye Question

Since they dont make Angel eye head lamps for the gen2, would it be possible to order some civic ones, and put them in the camry headlight? or are there specific watts that each cars headlights recieve? So my question is, what kind car headlights should i be looking at to try to switch to an angel eye conversion?

IIRC, the guy did it on a CRX. Baked the lights to get the glue gooey so he could pull the housing apart, then used those clear mini-blind twisty rods that he cut small notches into with a dremel to make the eyes... put an LED at either end of it and the light refracts on the notches and glows. I'll look for the link when I get home...

I think if we had something like projectors it would make the job easier.

Im in the process of making angel eyes but I have to figure aout a way to make it stay also I think a piece of wire like the trashbags that comes with twisters Im gonna strip it and just get the thin wire out. Im gonna be the first to do it Yayy hehehehe

Note: You can get a 92-95 civic projecter headlight and get the rings from them.
