Thread: DIY Angel Eyes

Bought a 2010 SS/TC month or two ago and it had a set of projector headlights on it. No clue what brand or if they were custom retrofits; however, they seem to work nicely and im happy with em. My HIDs died (old set I had laying around) so I took the aftermarkets out, put the stockers back in and decided to DIY paint the chrome reflectors and throw in some halos. Heres how it turned out. Im pretty happy with it!


Sorry not the best images, Ill get some with the DSLR when I get these in the car eventually lol!

May try a retrofit on the high-beams just cause I feel like trying!

You know the issue with high beams right? You'd be better off with a single high/low projector.

No whats the issue? Totally new to this headlight ****

HID's take time to "warm up" and get to full brightness. If you flick your high/low switch..you'll have less light for a bit.

So when doing HID projectors.. you either keep a standard bulb for high beam or you get projectors that have a shade. When you hit the button the shade snaps up quick and you get more light.

that's why no manufacturer uses a HID high beam, dude...

Uh.. there's a shade.. you don't call that single bulb doing both high/low a highbeam?

Duh. Im an idiot. lol thanks :P
