Talking I've finally joined the Projector club!

Yee haa! I finally finished them off so I thought I'd share some pics! Unlike others here (ahem, read: Tony, Ratko, Phi), I like to advertise my mods instead of keeping them ultra secret.

Well, I don't know how the beam pattern will be at night, but I don't expect much. The main problem is that the passenger side projectors both sit lower than the driver side...I'll have to fix that somehow, but I don't know how. The angel eyes can't be seen in the daylight like the bimmer's but at night they should look pretty cool. Otherwise, I must say that they look pretty creepy....

I honestly didn't think you'd be able to pull it off :o

It looks REALLY good! Try getting brighter LEDs to light up the angel eyes and make them really stand out.

I didn't think so either! *henry pats himself on the back* Remember that day you were outside my house and I said I might make them and you said to stick in angel eyes? I researched it that night and voila! Honestly, I still can't believe I made them! They're so beautiful....

The LED's are a bitch to work with...they are almost embedded in the ring. The guy I bought them off of cut off one of the resistors for the angel eye so I had to buy a new one...but Radio Shack doesn't sell that crap anymore! Anyway, I went to my basement and took apart some old cordless phones and found a resistor with similiar resistance...stuck that in...funny, I now know how to interpret all those funny bands on resistors. Anyway, I'll put on a lower rated resistor one day, I made it somewhat accessible to change.

No night pics with the angel eyes on? How do they look? You followed that DIY tutorial right, and just fabricated them on your own, yes?

Looking awesome man!

Just finished it today...pics are fresh! I'll take some creepy night pics tonight.

Didn't use that tutorial because nothing applied. I didn't make the angel eyes, I took them from aftermarket accord projectors with angel eyes and mounted them in.

Those DRL's look awesome You gotta re-align the lights though because the misalignment is pretty noticeable
