Check this guy out on ebay....218firehawk... I just bought a set of euro smileys, and clear corners for $221 shipped. H1 bulbs, and they have the city lights, complete with wiring, and brackets. He has another set with 1 day and some change left, and the bid is around $100 with 8 bids. He has a 100% feedback rating.

evan, those corners are ridiculous. with regular bulbs, the light output is about as great as hi-beams.... it has something to do with the refraction.

Thanks guys. Pancake, I love the clear lens... but you have a point about the output. Maybe a lower wattage bulb would look good... no?

Thanks, Felix! I'm looking for a set of angel eye projectors with glass lenses... I also found these by Depo:

I considered those too, but the corners were dead ugly. On that note, the set arrived today. I'll have to crack it open and post.

I think angels look pretty cool, but I see too many of them here in Maryland.

Yep mine are for sale. I just snapped some pics with the camera phone. I have to say that these angel eyes are MUCH better than the ones I already installed :( These actually fill very nicely and they come with 'blue' bulbs, making the rings nice and white. Also, the 'four' bulb effect of the ring is gone... it's a nice even fill all around. There is no 'daytime' running bulb in the high beam. I will post pics tomorrow morning.,

I'm having a heck of a time connecting the Motorola SLVR L7 to my PC heh. I'm trying to get the pics up (including connectors!) ASAP.

I'm planning on searching locally for a set of lights this weekend. I would love to be able to touch them before buying them.... something the guys on eBay will not allow... all sales are final ;)

Evan

I'm not too worried about the corners. If they look nasty, I can just buy another set or two.

It's the headlights that I want to be badass... glass lenses... great quality and fit... great output... GREAT look... etc etc.

Here's the pic.

In regards to glass... yeah, I've had LOTS of comments about the nice 'glassy' look of my headlamps ;) Totally 'renews' the car.

Again, the angel eyes are NOT CCFL/DDE! It's actually seven 194/168 blue bulbs ;)
