    Default who needs angel eyes!

    decided i couldn't afford some eyes and thought i'd keep it retro!

    found a cuople of mint condition (95 plate) smilies at a scrapper instead

    £50 - BARGAIN!

    before



    after



    they dont look much better on camera but the glass on the new ones feel like new, almost no pitting. the insides could do with a clean i think but for now they look sooo much better even when turned off! the height adjustment motor plug don't fit but what the hey!

    Aren't those just the smiley ones? Angel eyes have that ring around the entire outer edge

    exactly, he was being sarcastic i believe when he said "who needs eyes" so instead of goin to the eyes he just kept with the smileys..

    the before ones, had been cleaned a couple of months before this pic, what it doesn't show is how pitted the glass is

    after

    fitted the replacements from the scrap yard which are in mint condition and almost no pitting on the lenses
