Black Angel-Eyes Projector Head Lights

Postby Lokiel » Mon Jun 20, 2011 1:53 pm

Read the description for a few laughs:

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Angel-Eyes-Projector-Head-Lights-MAZDA-MX-5-NB-01-05-/130499083787?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1e6259fe0b

But be warned, these headlights are "RHD (right head driver)" only, so if your head's not right, don't buy them!

Its amazing what you can buy on e bay, and what price you can get it for. My Daughter just dislocated her Patella (Knee cap) and the specialist recommended a certain type of brace which was $110.00 at the orthotic suppliers store and the identical brace was $44.00 on E bay.

Yep - will take lots of photos.

Angel eyes look terrible on clear/chrome housing so yes, they'll have to be "smoked".

Happy to be the guinea pig... :mrgreen: :beer:

the reflector is metallised and the high beam reflector is functional and cannot be "smoked"- but I guess everyone knows that. I am still somewhat mystified as to what Angel eyes are - I guess they are leds and function like a drl ?

How do you find the light projection on these aftermarket housing?

Are they really worse than stock?
