self made angel eyes

Paul, mine run from the sidelight connections, i have no sidelight bulbs in at all. The rings are classed as sidelights at MOT time.
same here
no sidelights in my car the angel eyes are more than enough. One word of advice if you going the cold cathode route. Just buy the tubes and dont buy wiltec inverters. They dont like moisture at all and do blow very easily. Maplin do a cold cathode inverter for a fiver that runs two tubes from one unit ( wiltec ones are one per tube) and are a lot more forgiving with moisture and heat.
Thats great, thanks for that guys
My only concern is with me having HID lights already in there. Would they cause any heat problems? I thought HID bulbs were supposed to be hotter, but i may be wrong.

Sounds good, rings are ordered. May not get a chance to fit them for a while though as the mini beast is my first priority, then i need to change my suspension top bearings.
Think i may paint the lights inside gloss black too to freshen them up.

Mark, have you seen my "HOW-TO" ?
It's not a quick job to do, but if somebody (Rob) could do one while i do the other, then we might be ok, bearing in mind, i'll have Vonny with me this time so i might have to keep her entertained as well :rolleyes5:
just kidding guys

Yeah I dont mind.. I wont have anyone with me so dont mind spending time in camp putting some rings in.
does anyone tried to paint or do something to those rings, that they can't be seen unless you turn them on?

How many of these little buggers have you gone through? My cougar seemed to eat these for breakfast.
I have lost faith in these types of Angel Eyes as a result.
LED's dont stop working after 8 hours of use.
Don't drop the bonnet! :hand: Thats what breaks the tubes, and get some ventilation into the light units as Rob and myself did, or put the inverters on the outside of the headlight unit. :idea:
I am going t have a go at the ccfl route but will be using tinting spray on them as they look horrible to me during the day they stick out to much for my liking so the plan is to use tail light tinit on them.
