who needs angel eyes?

when you can make the whole projector glow?


been playing around with a retrofit I'm working on, and I know a lot of people like angel eyes... but they're so passe... figured I'd do something different

more info... it just looks like one of those bright blue globes to me?

fill me in

[saxman]

it's a blue ccfl tube inside the projector. Just causes the projector to glow when it's on. Projector still has a normal headlight bulb in it, and still lights up just like normal, etc, just has the blue glow there if you want it. Think of it like an angel eye that's inside the projector, instead of in front of it.

thats crazy cool man. is the last picture with both lights on?
cameras + headlights = hard to tell

[saxman]

no... just the headlight bulb

with the headlight bulb on, you can't see the blue anymore anyway, so it really doesn't matter... looks the same with or without the ccfl

looking good. I'm thinking of angel eyes, but heard bad things about them. Looks easy enough to modify though :)

thanks for posting about this, interesting

the blue glowing cost me about $15 to add to both lights...

the lights cost a whole lot more than that to make though(there aren't any projector lights for the del sol available... have to be made from scratch)
