Has anyone had any experience of buying these off Ebay as the complete units? I'm reaaly would like to get some like these (see link) and I'm too lazy and cack handed to do a DIY job. :mad:
Are they really plug and play? And how easy are they to adjust for driving on UK roads.
Cheers

Here are my angel eyes. I like DIY jobs, so i fitted em by myself. Actually these were made to fit an e46 so i had to modify them a bit. But the result rocks :D

Here is Riga International Airport (RIX). But these angel eyes have been sent here directly from china (they've been made there). I only installed them into the lamp. I think that if you're interested you can order them from china and install them by yourself. It's not very compplicated to DIY.
But ofcourse it You're interested in coming to latvia i can get them for you. Please send pm for details

P.S. I havent managed yet to put the lights back on the car because my car is being modified at this moment - an engine transplant. I will post pics as soon as i can

There are straight airline London->Riga. And it costs rather cheap.
Anyway here is the link to the homepage of the company which manufactures these angeleyes in China. I thin it's possible to order directly from there

hmm, i tried 2 find bahrain on the map and concluded that it is so small that i can't find it. Can you tell me where it is?
So I think it's easier 4 u to order these angeleyes directly from china

Yep bahrain is pretty small, about 40km by 20km and it is in the Arabian gulf just north of Qatar and east of Saudi Arabia, its actually a couple of islands. nice place but now summer is coming which means 50degreee heat and 80-90% humidity! not nice.

With 50 degree heat and 90% humidity the air is so hot and of such a low density the engine performance is quite poor, plus running a/c compressor does not help! so no, cant reach top speed!!!
