brian32e · 03-29-2006, 01:59 AM

excuse the dumb question but what color is the OEM lens? Is the Brex one light blue or something?

I need more pix to really see how this thing is put together

You asked so I checked...

"Where? I am interested if direct. I kind of don't fully trust that dude who wants 15 people to give him $200 each and then he will order.

If it would be direct I would buy it today. It's not money problem just don't feel like being riped off by somebody."

Thanks!

stock angel eyes don't use led's. the first generation crappy aftermarket kits used led's, and even those are hard to come by now.

do you think a blue piece of lamin-x protective film on the glass would work? or would it burn up? http://www.lamin-x.com

they will burn. remember the lens is about 1' away fron the headlight.

Long - your awesome buddy. I'd love to do this to my headlights but i'm a bit afraid to take the whole thing apart because i dont really have the extra $$$ to fix anythig if i screw up. Maybe in time we can get a write-up

Squawks · 03-29-2006, 02:43 PM

I can't believe the other kids who got the BREX installed didn't peep a single word that all they got in the mail from Japan after paying $230+ were two pieces of colored glass...

thats what i was thinking. o well...

nine4surfah · 03-29-2006, 03:32 PM

Long! good looking out bro!

mds82 · 03-29-2006, 03:33 PM

Long - call me crazy, but could you just take out the stock bulb that is in there now, buy some LED's, white or blue, and make you own light sorce for the angel eyes? if you got Blue LED's, took out the glass piece, wouldnt that work? i'm not to go and try to do it, but its an idea....

Squawks · 03-29-2006, 03:35 PM

Why would you want to do that when getting a piece of colored glass is so much easier? Besides, LEDs draw different currents of power compared to filamented bulbs.

Just go to a pipe/bong shop - they deal with glass extensively and craft you a 1"x1" piece of stained glass in no time.

shragon · 03-29-2006, 03:40 PM

led's don't work very well for this application. that's why the first developers of aftermarket angel eyes stopped making them.
