Default Angel eyes/Xenons pics

If you guys got any of these, can you post pics up? With lights on and off?

I'm looking for a good set of angel eyes, but there are so many different ones and they never post pics of them when they're on. Any suggestions would be great too!

Specifically the B5 headlights would be preferred for me, but any A4 pics would make things more fun

A word of caution regarding the ebay or equiv "inexpensive" headlight assemblies. They don't fit properly, have cheap diffusers, etc and the light dispersement is not near as good as OEM. Most folks are not happy with the lighting once they have tried ebay assemblies. Also, some folks feel the Angel Eyes belong on BMWs.

Hmm... that's true, I've heard about some low quality lights off of ebay. I dunno.. I just really like the angel eyes look. I was planning on getting angel eyes with xenons.

Maybe I will stick with just the HID upgrade on the oem projector housing.

Thanks for the tip!

I bought Helix lights for my Jetta off ebay. I did a little modification and got them so they were awesome. Here are some pics and commentary of what I did....


Baked the lights appart


Cut a new cut off out of a pop can to mount to the projector to fix it.


How the projector was with the "European" cut off that sucked big donkey *****


New shield screwed on.


Light pattern after with the new shield.

Also attached that are not on my server are pics of the lights before and after:

With crappy cut off before I modified it...

After: The pattern had some lines in it from the cheap projector but the light on the road was outstanding and the cutoff pretty darn close to perfect. There was no glare and nobody ever flashed me. It took a lot of hassle to get them this way. Would I do it again? No not really I have two cars with OEM HId's but did it work? Sure did the trick.

I have never seen anyone successfuly make their own cutoffs. Most impressive part is how sharp it is, Good Job! I'm sure you gave incentive to many people.

As far as the angel eyes, I considered it myself a few years back, but then I felt I was "cheapening" my beautiful Audi by adding a BMW design.

Bimmers are done to death, Long live Quattro!

Hhahah, well thats nothing you should see some of the bizzare car stuff I have pulled off over the years. I have pics of everything so as soon as somebody asks about it I can post pics.

I'm just waiting for the Nitrous threads to start up...
