I'll be posting a full DIY when finished, along with where I bought the rings from, so be patient, I have been , I started this in Oct 06 and have spent most of the time trying to source the right sized rings.

These are OEM BiX from a coupe. They were opened and the lenses painted black. I'll be sealing them up tonight or tomorrow morning, then installing tomorrow afternoon hopefully, or this week for sure. I've got to figure out how to wire them up to turn on automatically when the car is on.

This should work on a sedan as well, the shape of the light is different, yet about the same size. It suits the more circular, less 'peanut' shape of the coupe lights over the sedan lights.


Anyone know how to disable DRL? I'd like to turn them off since the halos are bright enough!

will reserve comment until you post pix of angel eyes on blackened reflector area.
I didn't like the reflection off the shiny parts...detracting from the circular light.
