    Default angel eyes installed

    I just installed my eyes and got some pics at dusk and at night, the low beams are definitely brighter but the highs are a little weaker.
    The wiring was straigh-forward, just splice them to the parking lights on each side. I love the look at night, and honestly I don't "hate" them in the daytime either. What do you think?

    couldn't insert pics with image button for some reason so I just linked to them.

    Looks pretty good, but I think you may have put the same pic. 3 times.

    Color balance seems to be off. When I illuminated them with a 7.2 battery, I could distinctly remember that the rings glowed 'white/blue'.

    Good work! Wanna buy an HID kit for your low beam? Take $25 of any one you choose

    Also, post a picture of the cutoff, will ya? I think I may get another set like yours if the cutoff is better.

    So did you insert the ccfl circles yourself or did you buy a pre-fabbed kit? Tell me what you got, I'm in the market for some!

    The color balance could seem off because of my poor picture taking abilities, but they glow a nice whitish/blue.
    I'll get some pictures of the cutoff soon, but first I have to adjust my lights.

    So how do you change the low/high beam bulbs?
    Do you just pop off the rubber boot where the headlight wires go into?
