» My Custom Angel Eyes :) Pics!!

This was a project I did in January but haven't really posted about anywhere. This was a pretty cheap project even though I melted one fog light in the oven and had to buy a replacement

There are how-to's for Civics and CRX's out there but I think this was a lot easier because the fogs were already round so it was really easy to mold the plastic rod to the inside of the fog light.

I get mixed reactions about the angel eyes, some people say they're rice and others think they are cool. Whatever, I liked doing the project and I learned a lot from it. That's all that matters right? Hehe..

Just thought I would share it with you guys since it's kind of a custom thing and HS is all about sharing..or something..yeah. Here are a couple pics of the finished product, the LED's I used were the "white" ones, even though they look blue.

If you'd like, you could post a step-by-step in the step-by-step forum so others could follow what you did

The corner lights aren't that white, they do look kind of dull compared to the headlights. I recently switched back to the stock amber bulbs.

The ones in the pictures were the Polarg B1 Hybrid bulbs that I bought at a place called Audio Works/Performance Lab here in Kirkland. They were $11.95.

It wasn't hard at all, and the how-to I followed was the CRX one so it took some adapting on how to wire the LED's and just some of the basic steps.

I ended up cutting the stock plug completely off the factory bulbs and just wiring the plug to the LED's. I figure it will still be possible to go back if I ever want to.

Thanks for all the comments guys!

Don't worry you won't be the only one with them.
I know of a step by step. (but I won't post it because you don't want it posted.
It's been done.
But I still think it's great and looks Hella tight on your car.

Hehe I know...you can post it if you'd like. I just like being unique in my area because everyone here puts altezza's, huge wings and shogun kits on their Sol's and I wanted to be different.

I'm glad you guys like them though. It makes all the hard work worth it, and knowing the fact that I learned so much from doing it myself. If you have any other questions I would be happy to answer them

Yea actually I wanted to go into custom body work and I did a little at my friend's shop but now with school I don't have time to go down there anymore. Hopefully I will be able to this summer. Also, my parents don't really support the whole car thing. They aren't against it but my mom wants me to go into business admin and then she says I could open my own shop if that's what I really want to do. But thanks for the compliment, like I said earlier I love doing all the custom work myself because I really learn a lot about my car and how it's put together.

UPDATE: my friend with a sol tried to do this project on the spur of the moment and he also melted his fog :( sad for him...heheh

that's why you need planning and an extra set of hands to help you hold something or watch the oven while you do something else.
