They are also known as Angel Eyes.

:)


About 150-200 quid, for a pair. I don't think you'll find them separately?

No for a pair!!

Sorry, I've edited it now.

Should be about 150-200 quid for both sides. Complete units.

I'm still undecided if these suit the E30 or not... :?

If you're gonna buy some, you really have to look into the quality of some designs tho, speak to Dale325i and bootyman (only 2 i can think of) they have decent ones imo.

There's a group buy going on for these at the moment in the For Sale section, I think they're about 140 quid, for the complete light units as well, so plug and play :)

I don't mind angel eyes as long as it's not that chavy blue glow, theres a smoked set of hellas on ebay somewhere with angel eyes put in, looks quite mean.

Surelight.co.uk have em for around 60 squids white or blue (or a few other colours if you just buy their neon kits. Fitting is a modification of my tech article in DIY smoked Hellas. Never really considered the blue light Chav but i guess each to their own. not too keen on the plastic ones as they spoil the lines of the light during daylight hours as they are very visible. Got these in a local market for a couple of quid, just shows how much you get ripped off in u.k.!!! white light from 2 LED's looks okay on my mates E39.

Were these from these Surelight people then?

What do you wire them into and do you have a separate switch?

my blue chav ones are from surelight and easy to wire in, just replace the sidelights with the invertor and wire all four off of one side light. unplug and tape the other side up. Best thing then is your parking lights are your angel (angle) eyes.

mmmm nice


check tech article on DIY smoked hella and copy and stick in the lights. They also provide you with instructions but they are quite poor and you would not get a good finish following their instructions, but you dont have to remove the lens for their method

Image Image i have 1 made up set of angel eyes left at Ԛ£180.00 plus the return of your old headlights, or you can buy just the kit for Ԛ£140.00, these are the VERY best angel eyes out there, they are led enhanced and are pure quality, not some big fat yellow round thing like most aftermarket angel eyes Image
