I know there are ppl who have made their won custom angel eyes, but I still got this question I need to be cleared.

Since the acrylic/plastic rod can be melted and bent when heated in the oven for less than 10min, won't that be melted too in the headlight housings where I suppose the temp is very high too???

An, another thing, if this really works, then I'm gonna do it to my OZ, anyone here already knows the diameter of the front turn signals????

 

i don't think the heat of the bulb will create that much temp to melt that rod....but it is a good question and never really thought about that

 

I agree with blacklancer2k2, I don't believe that the temp of your bulb should get hot enough to melt the rod again, but maybe if you have upgraded harness and higher wattage bulbs it might? They always tell you the light temp of the bulb, never the actual heat measurement!

 

even if it becomes "malleable" (sp?), if you don't touch it it won't move.. so when cooling down it will stay in the same position. When you heat it in the oven, then you turn it so it changes shape, if you keep it straight and let it cool, you won't even notice it was "soft"

if you look close the front turn signal is not a full circle
i was going to do the angel eye thing but got to looking
and it would have to be like in two pieces

 

yea i did it around one of my front turn signals it looks alright but i chose blue for the color loks very APC so when i got time and im nto lazy and or dont get new head lights im gona take it apart change bulbs and make the other one and no it wont melt but if it did melt it would straighten it self out it just snaps back into place so it would ruin it but it dont get hto enough to melt so no wories

 

hey liquid u have pix on ur DIY angel eyes?

 

pics? i'm probably going to do it within the next few days. angel eyes + black headlight housing.. hopefully everything will turn out ok

 

It will melt the plastic rod I did I on my friends lancer It melted to the house a looked like a melted candle wax. When I do it to my ride I am going to use fiber optic cable.( it made from glass)

 

what melted the rod? the headlight or the led?? did he use a resistor and whatnot?

general question: what type of led do you use?? there's like 20 different types. im figuring a 1100 mcl bulb? but would it be better for a lower density mcd bulb?

 

the rod melted to the headlight houseing we were driving from
Tampa,FL to Jackson,MS. we used a resistor, ans a low voltage led. the headlights got really hot

 

k..so you need 2 bulbs to do this on one headlight..my question is.. when you solder the two bulb leads together, you use just one resistor, yes?
