For god's sake, I've never thought of that. Wired onto the fogs (absolutely brilliant)

(I had that question more than once, cool solution for those who don't necessarily use the fogs and have colored angel eyes)

You are a brilliant chap Martin, THANKS so much for the idea LOL

Thanks Fred!

And thank you for the ability of turning night into day!

haha was about to ask, they do look good but do they actually work at least?! Last time I've visited B.C it wasn't the most lit up place... mostly pitch black on these roads loll Chg your xenon every two years or similar and you should be laughing there

Watch for dears man, they won't react the same as they do with poor halogen I'm only guessing. Blind jumpers :/ Just slow down when you cross one

Your lenses could do with a buffing. When they flood like that (could be the cam also dunno) its because they have a few to many micro scratches, possibly just oxidized a tad. Nothing that can't be fixed with a good arm and some plastX (20min each)

Your silver box car look sick. Especially love the AEs... half moon style. Nice headlight work

Might there be a way to make the Angel eyes turn on with the first clockwise click on the headlights switch? Right now, that seems to turn the lights on half power and then the second click is lights fully on. As the kit is wired normal, what happens to the projectors when the light switch is only on the first click?

keep in mind I have taken out my DLR's

off position - no lights
parking lights - Angle eyes
headlights - projectors and angle eyes
highbeam - turns night to day


it would be cool to wire the angle eyes into the turn signal circuit ( turn right - the right angle eye lights up ) would be hard to see at night though but would be sweet none the less

I'm in the very early stages of the project of making the angel eyes "breath" when the car is locked...very early stages...looking at code now

I think it would be neat to have this when you go out and lock the car with the fob

I have done the breathing thing with an TI EZ430-F2012 driving the LED in the breathing pattern.

If you want the code I can send you a copy.

It took a bit of playing but eventually got something decent for the EZ430.

I slowed the rate even more than in the video, plus its only driving one LED so you may need to do a bit more work if it cannot drive as many LED's directly.
