Legasee Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 Any news on LGT-specific Angel Eyes? What is a reasonable price range and how many would be interested? In Taiwan now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eVoMotion Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 For me - it would depend on the type/material the "eyes" were made of. For someone to buy a kit, there would be the time/cost investment of installation to seriously consider. I would love a set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSiWRX Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 ^^^ +1 If CCFL and of good quality, then near or upwards of $100 per pair can be justified. This would allow these distinctive "eyes" to be seen even for those of us who have HID retrofits (proper or not would be beside the point) or want the marker to be more visible during dawn/dusk. If LED, I'd say that even high-quality ones (with an evenly distributed halo, proper resistors, etc.) would only justify $40-50 per pair. This is from typical pricing of such items found on eBay. -A <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IwannaSportSedan Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 $513 (US) plus the cost of shipping them, and getting new Left-hand drive low beam projectors, or swapping in the ones from your stock headlights. (they are JDM, so the low beam cut-off pattern will be backwards for us, since they are RHD.) Highs and signals should make no difference. The nice thing is, they would be a new set of headlights, and one could re-sell their stock ones, or keep them in case of selling the car, or for damage replacement. Although, if one were to swap the projectors, one could put in some honest-to-the-law HID OEM projectors from some other vehicle that would fit, and install HID balasts and bulbs, as well. I'd say negatory to the CF eyelids, but that is just my preference. It still would probably be cheaper to buy the parts and do it yourself, if you'd feel comfortable dissasembling the light units.

jj808 Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 do it yourself, if you'd feel comfortable dissasembling the light units. Thats the part right there. I would never feel comfortable doing this on my own. That whole "opposable" thumbs thing doesnt really work for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eVoMotion Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 the only cool part is the Angel eye. They look to be the right size and true CCFL. We just need to find out their source and we could build our own. So far no one has come up with a source for these on any other thread, though they look to exist in Japan.

IwannaSportSedan Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 It would probably be easier to find someone to do the work, buy a new set of US headlights, and the Angel Eye parts, and have them mod the headlights for you. (E-bay or someplace has to have them. There used to be a website that sold the kits with actual BMW acrylic rings and LEDs as "demon eyes" for retrofitting E36 BMWs, which were built before BMW started this trend, I don't remember the site, and can't seem to find it. CCFL seems to be the rage, now though. I've even seen RED ones. :evil, as in the fru-its of the de-vil: ) The thing about those Liberal branded parts, is they would need to be dissassembled and modified anyway, due to the Low beams being RHD, versus the LHD we would need in the US. So someone would have to modify the lights in any case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the $850 price was for a new unit and $5xx was just to send yours off to be retrofitted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legasee Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 I told my friend (right after my last post) and he told me that his boss was on a business trip. I'll ask him again and get back to you guys when I get an answer! (I really want a set for my LGT)!! In Taiwan now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al-gorithm Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 For those who want to make them, I took measurements of the insert. 4.5" CCFL rings should do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precise Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 +eleventy for interest if the 2 rings per housing doesnt come thru, how about a ring with two parallell rods. The rods would run next to the reflector, just a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
