Home Made Angel Eyes
 
I know this is from a motorcycle forum, but the process for making the angel eyes is the same. looks fairly simple and are alot better looking then some expensive knock offs

you can also use clear medical tube.....what they use for iv's.......its flexible already so you can skip the oven step

sweetbmxrider 01-11-2009 03:34 PM

yeah but he puts the cuts in it to refract the light forward. i'm sure it works that way too.

how would you make it stay circular? i feel like the IV tube would always stay soft and flexible

200 degrees but sais do not preheat and only put them in for a few minutes

sweetbmxrider 01-11-2009 07:21 PM

oh snap. totally overlooked it. thanks!

creeper 01-11-2009 11:22 PM

you can get pretty much any color angel eye rings for $5-$10 off ebay. might save a little time. although i'm not sure how those are supposed to be powered i just thought i'd throw it out there.

ar0ck 01-12-2009 01:08 AM

All depends on the size, because I've seen specific sized HALO's for my bike go for $25+. I sent Will a write up I saved off a Honda Tech forum, there's a lot of good information out there. I'm hoping to have a write up for the forums on this as well. I've saved and read a lot of information about this and its certainly something I want to do for my Camaro & motorcycle in the near future.

sweetbmxrider 01-12-2009 03:45 PM

yeah i researched a little more and found some good info. do you need a resistor calculator? http://ledcalc.com/

how are you going to do them with the sealed beams? or are you going a different route like me? it will look great on the bike too.
