I have a friend who makes custom angel eyes / demon eyes or in whatever colour I want it to be...

I did a search and found all the previous posts with angel eyes and demon eyes, the pictures posted of examples of how they look on a 5th gen maxima itself no longer work....


can anyone posts some pictures with some ideas for what colour looks best?

and what is the size (circumfrance or length) I should give him as a measurement for a perfect fit? thanks

Does he make them by bending CCFL or using L.E.Ds?

 

these are the e36 bwm eyes check on ebay what size.... i forget...

 

i have no idea...

here is an example of one he made:




what kind is it?

 

Please ask your friend if those are CCFLs or LEDs.

If I had to guess, those look like LEDs.

 

These are the ones that UMNITZA sells.

 

its been in my past experience that angel eyes are just way to un reliable..

 

those are leds. the rings are bent from curtain rods found at homedepot through baking them in the oven and wrapping it around a bottle or something circular similar to the shape of the dome. theres been a writeup for years on a crx which is basically the same for almost any car. google it.

without flash

white ftw and to stay legal

o yea these are ccfl for e46 non projector bmws. unless you are mechanically inclined or have a good understanding/know how to use tools, i wouldnt do this. it was a pain in the ***. had i known these were going to fit so sh!tty w/o fabrication, i woulda just gotten the umnitza ones although these are MUCH brighter

 

how do they look with 00-01' headlights? I have not seen a picture of them.

 

he told me LEDS... are they unreliable?

 

TRUE demon eyes>*

 

theres no round part to mount the rings in the 00-01 headlight

 

holy shhit those demon eyes look scary

 

those ones are LEDs



cold cathodes don't look like that

 

white > red

 

red>white always.....always....

yea thats pretty cool until some semi-trailer confuses that with tailights and slams into you head-on

 

And someone will be a drunk bastard for dirving on the wrong side og the road

 

he does not drive with those, they are just for car shows. it's illegal in every state to have red or blue in headlights while driving. these colors are reserved for emergency/fire/ems vehicles only.
we already had a discussion thread about this when he made them, and clarified all state's laws involved.

 

so are the leds reliable?

wuts the diff between them?

 

[QUOTE=trigger005]cuz we all kno that EVERY car on the road has HEADLIGHTS AND FOGLIGHTS facing backwards

 

LEDs are okay, but it depends what you use them for. If you take a look at the pic you posted, the LEDs don't light up the ring evenly. Notice the ends are brighter and get dimmer towards the middle. CCFLs (Cold-Cathode Fluorescent Lamps) rings are evenly lighted.

The downside to CCFLs is that it's fragile and have to be handled carefully. And if it breaks, you have to replace the entire ring. If the LED burns out, you just replace the LED.

Tell your friend to use brighter LEDs, 21000 mcds

 

well i was thinking more along the lines of construction on streets where they re-route lanes

but pt is they really look like tail lights

 

Yes, I recall that rather lengthy thread where soon as he posted those pics, an e-riot broke out where a bunch of NY cats had plenty to say.

Guys want to see a special on these

 

id love to see a special on them

 

ugh... u misquoted that as me but whatever...

 

Your comment is just too silly not to respond to again with a

If he has RED angel eyes, RED means STOP, so how exactly is a SEMI going to run into him?

1) that Semi would be driving on the wrong side of the road - problem one that's pretty hard to miss and pretty much has no relevance if you have red, pink, purple, rainbow, or anything on your car, there are other problems you are going to have aside from your color of angel eyes.

2) as mentioned above RED MEANS STOP. Therefore, if he sees the red, he SHOULD stop no? I mean if they were green, sure, let's run through them. But unless I checked, the rule book for Semi's is the same as for regular people, see RED STOP. see GREEN GO.

3) When they reroute lanes - it's not usually in the dark, but if it is, you usually have a flagman.

4) If it's a 2 lane road, then the red will likely serve as a deterrent.

Anyways, no, you were not misquoted

 

best post evAr

 

Lol that was pretty funny, mass media, did you use CCFLs or LEDs

Howcomes nobody does DIY CCFLs, ive done it for my computer, it would basically be the same thing, go buy some CCFLs for a computer do this http://www.twistedmods.com/article.php?artid=196, hook em up to the inverter, ground, and 12v power source

 

he used Predator Thinline RED

 

i think dr. roy (originator of the 5th gen ebay retro and leds) has tried to do this but to get the circle to be smooth was time consuming or something according to him. I heard that another thing to do was t get the ccfl rings from the fans you use to case mod and install those instead (since these were for more of the projector retrofitters and that the 100mm and 80mm were large enough).
