Angel eye lights

[Aaronexx]

Hi, i'm looking at getting some angel eyes, but instead of paying around £150 i've seen just some lights on ebay? (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UNIVERSAL...|Model:Clio|Cars+Type:1.2&hash=item257a151b29)

just wondering if anyone has used these? got any pictures and if they're worth it? or just save a little and get proper ones?

Errrm.

What are you trying to do? Cut them into your headlights? Replace the foglights with them? Use them like rally spots?

Whatever you do, I can guarantee it will look bloody terrible.

If you're determined to make a rolling embarrasment of your car, you're on the right track.

Don't forget to hang a cabbage patch doll from your rear tow-eye

Xenons from a sport are a better option, I have some for sale

Better but a a lot more involved.

Just whack some Osram Nightbreakers into the standard lamps....unless OP is going for the "straight outta 2000" look, in which case velcro some LEDs to the grille and call them DRLs

Wanted them to look like this:

imo they look alot better than my standard headlights

 

[Goodj]

each to their own, I wouldn't.

 

[Aaronexx]

What are these osram nightbreakers? I've googled them and they just look like brighter lights?

Nothing wrong with angel eyes, but those are dog lights. £150 is a price for brand new. Anything less and you're getting dodgey lamps that won't pass mots because they don't hold the bulbs right. Is it a mk3 you're shopping for?

Brighter bulbs yeah, don't last as long usually though.

Cant say I've ever found that.
Sure, if you fit them with hands covered in KFC gravy, they will likely go quickly.
They're a good sight better than OEM bulbs, and certainly better than £2 Petrol-station efforts.

 

[McGherkin]

I have to say my nightbreakers lasted surprisingly long. I had them for months and months in the old car and I've still got them!

 

[Addicted]

From what I've read it's always been said they don't last as long as conventional bulbs, maybe that isn't the case - never had any personally .

Price includes fitting

You're the guy who complained about paying 3k a year for insurance and now you want to go modifying?

In (because I can see where this is going).

Kids today have plenty of spare cash to piss up the wall.

 

[iimushroomzii]

Don't do it.

My insurance would be high no matter what car I got! I'm not complaining I just thought it was ridiculous how cheap it is for some people, and whats wrong with a few modificafions?

 

[Stefan.]

Absolute crap

You honestly think those pikey efforts are good...

Buy cheap buy twice

 

[BGEarles]

If you're going to spend £150 on a set of headlights go for the headlights out of a sport, less is more now days.

Drove past a Subaru last night with bright green under car neons. No, just no. As mentioned, straight from 2000!!

One of my 2ish month old night breakers popped last night. Can't tell you how anal i was to avoid finger prints.

Not a fan of angel eyes on anything other than bmws but as said each to their own
