Thread: Angel Eyes

    Default Angel Eyes

    This was buried in another thread. I thought I'd give it it's own thread.

    I decided having Moss Lo-Pros was not different enough. I had to modify them.

    Big Props to Kamil (Nexus Flux) for his expertise in wiring them up. I couldn't have done it without him.

    How did you decide to mount them?

    Upside down from what I was trying. I didn't seal off the refractor cuts. Just decided to go with it. A few dabs of clear silicone to hold them on. Used a short span of the clear heat shrink to hold the LEDs in the rings.

    Freakin sweet! I've been wanting to do that to mine, at least to the highbeams since they are not one during regular nighttime driving. Cool to highlight the extra projectors IMO. How much did ya spend? Sounds like you fabricated them yourself. I also didn't know you had the twilights too; that's been on the to do list as well.

    I guess I'm just really a purist on this subject. I don't even like it when people put these on their 3 series bimmers.

    Oh yeah, forgot about those! The pic was so dark on my girlfriends monitor that I couldn't see the car very well.

    Yeah, I know it is a bit poser-ish. Same could be said for my Altezza styled tail lights.

    My feeling is I appreciate certain design aspects of other cars and sometimes integrate them into my car if I feel it will look good. If I was a purist, I'd have kept my car stock. Yep, I'm pretty much not a purist.

    However certain cars don't fit with these. A Mustang does not look good with Altezza styled tail lights, ever!!! I just can't see it but someone may prove me wrong.

    Look at it another way. Hot Rodders often borrow elements of other cars and integrate them into their own ride. This is now an accepted practice. However, at one time, I'm sure purists felt it was an atrocity to integrate, say Chevy tail lights onto a T-Bucket Ford.

    Car customization has always been about expressing your individuality. That being said, I feel there is just as much to be said for purists who keep a car as the designer planned it. It's all in how the owner sees his vision of his ride.
