Angel eyes for z3

[Shortie_gal]

So ive decided that i would love to get some proper Angel Eyes for Vixen but how, where and when...

Ive seen a few people with them fitted and i have been having a nosey on neverenoughmods website as i know their angel eyes are awesome but i wouldnt even know where to begin!

Anyone give me some ideas of where to get them, pricing etc...

Nope, standard OEM on that one. I had them on my 2.0 Z3 though, worked much better than the standard candle lit units. I did find the halos on mine were a little dim though, but they looked good

I'd stay away from the chrome ones as I think they look naff. Black would fit in better with the accents you've already gone with on Vixxen

Best pics I could find for now.

What about the ones that changed color on his ///M?

Those were only on there for a very short period of time, didn't quite look as good as initially thought. It was light strips stuck on the internals of the standard units.

IMO these look much more OEM then the little rings, however you need to be able to split the lights to fit them, only about £30 for both sides, it took me about 3 hours in total to fit them

I would agree Sean your headlights look better as they are in keeping with the original look and angle eye is brighter.

I love the look of those @Sean d what do they look like in the light? Did you have to glue them on to the original light?

@GazHyde i agree i dont think id go with chrome as its not my styleee. Those looked nice on your zed! They seem to be quite expensive to buy at £250+ so a little saving me thinks! Lol

Was that an oven job?
They do look a lot smarter than the naff angle eyes.

Sean we need a write up on how to go about installing these angle eye's and where to purchase these from

I have had a few different sets in mine over the years, started with the CCFL's which didn't seem to last, the colour changing ones which were OK for a while but the white setting was more blue than white. The most recent ones I have are SMD LED ones, which are very bright an should last a lot longer than CCFL ones. They look like this



I am very impressed with mine, originally my brother had them on his E36 as that is what they are designed for so do need some small modifying but as I did it before on the colour changing ones I knew what to do (Lee knows how to do it).

You can get them for around £20, from here but they come from Hong Kong. If you want them from the UK then you will pay and extra tenner upwards.

I fully agree with you , I used a hot gun, only takes a few minutes

Mine are behind the inner lens so when they are not on you can't see them, and when they are on they look like they should be there and not stuck on, only one small blob of glue at the bottom.
