Well, as the title says, after I saw a video on metacafe about some dude making eagle eyes out of window blind adjusters, I thought I would give it a shot.
Eagle Eyes video
PICS
NOTE- in pic 2 there it a little blue wire hanging down in the high beam, the little S.O.B bugged me all day do it forced me to take EVERYTHING off and fix it, luckly I did, upon re-testing I found an LED in that light too was a dud and was flickering so I fixed it too.
I would go on to tell you about the installing phase, but to put it short it was long and annoying. I hadd to take bumper off twice, take apart each headlight TWICE and make a midnight run to walmart, but thats for another day.
Leave you comments, I hope you like. cool.gif

Yah took me for ever but im happy with how they came out, as you probly see I wired them to my parking lights.
And I ran the wires out of a hole in the back of the lowbeam cap, kinda like how REDZ did in a HID install pic on a thread.

The size of the halos? Well the lows are soda can size, and the highs are small paint can size. LOL I didnt really measure I had to adjust them and soda can is perfect size for low and small paint can work for highs.

WELL......Another led started to flicker again today in my cheap angles, to ive made the decision to remove them tommarro due to hhigh matinance.
I guess that what you get when you try and make your own angles.
Anyways im gonna leave the quick relase harnes i made for them in incase I want to put some other light up thing in somewhere.
GETTO angles as SOCKS would say FTL====FAIL!!!!
Fail comments are welcome, also other suggestions are too.
