Halo's (evil eyes) w/pics
�
�
well, i didn't even know what halo's were until last week. i saw a pic of them on a green WRX. well, i liked them. sooooooo... i made them! let me start by saying that these are a PITA to make and install. they look good though. i'll post more pics in the daytime or evening when you can see them better. what you all think?
(i'm sure this will be called rice sooner or later... but then again, so is everything it seems!)

Those look freak'n awesome.
Okay, so you'll have to tell us:
- what you used (hexagonal v round plexy)?
- make little slits or ribs?
- what is your light source (LED, color, voltage, etc)?
- how did you splice this in electrically (slaved of of driving lights)?
Yeah, day time shots would be really nice.
Thanks... and again, those look excellent, not rice man.

round won't work. has to be hexagonal to bounce the light.
little slits.
LED for me. 5mm, 3.7 volt, 20mA, 2600mcd...you will need resistors from radio shack
run a search thru google, there's tons of websites that show tutorials.

thanx! i just checked back and saw that you all posted. didn't mean to be a jerk :huh: J/K.
-definatly hex shaped rods. you can get them at wal-mart, lowes, etc.
-made little slits. i tried a few different ways, but light, little slits worked the best.
-3.6 volt white LED's from radio shack. also put a 220 ohm resistor inline with the positive lead.
-i used the DRL lamps on the morette's. the little bulb that is in the high beam housing. made my own little plug out of a piece of the mini-blind wand.
i like the way they look too. i also agree that the HID look is kinda off with the regular lowbeam color. i guess it gives me a reason to switch to HID's in the low beams!
thanx again!

here's a pic of the test rod.

From right to left:
-small little vertical slits
-small X's
-medium/deep slits
-light diagonal slits
this pic is with a normal flashlight. you can see how quickly the light degrades, so LED's were a must.
i chose the light slits, placed decently apart. about 4mm. the light also will not degrade as quick with light slits. i tried a couple other rods, and the deep slits block too much light from going from one slit to the next. i like the X's, but decided not to go with it.

I agree, that looks pretty cool.
Check out this website for a DIY. Granted, it's a corolla, but I think the concepts are the same. :)

That first pic is one of the coolest things I have ever seen.....Good job!!!!
| imprezive one | 07-10-2003 11:36 PM |
how did you manage to get your morettes apart? I've heard that the silicone or whatever they used to seal the housing in is really tricky to work with and it's easy to mess up your lights. I've been wanting to do this for a while now but i'm just scared. Did you oven bake your headlights? How long did you put them in there and at what temperature? What were some of the major issues/hangups you encountered? Any pointers? Any and all information would be extremely appreciated. Awesome job!
| Black-X | 07-10-2003 11:56 PM |
i used a heat gun, and a flat tip screwdriver. heated the housing up, and started prying. make sure you DON'T try to bend the 4 little clips that help hold the housing!!! they WILL break. i broke 2 right off. just pry around the whole thing, and when you've gone all the way around it, pry the housing NEXT to the clips. then they will come off. it's no joke. it is a SERIOUS PITA to take them apart.

they were sweet untill i found out they were on morrettes. They definatly are cool, and i bet look great at night, but it seems that they are now just less ugly morrettes.
| imprezive one | 07-11-2003 01:30 PM |
morettes rule... <--- matter of personal taste, as is everything else.
I saw a member on the boards that put DIY angel eyes into his stock headlight housings and IMHO it didn't compliment the look at all. Looked very incongruous with the whole headlight. There was too much open space around the ring, not like the isolated orbs of the morettes.

If someone has the balls to crack open a set of JDM/EDM projectors and try this I bet that would look insane :banana:

that looks solid. too bad you can't do that with the JDM projectors. those look even meaner than the BMW's.

does anyone think it would be possiable to do these "devil eyes" in stock GC8 headlights.. or if not there.. does anyone think it would look kewl to put them around the fog lamps???
| 02R6 | 11-20-2003 03:29 AM |
Personally, I do not think it would "kewl" if they were around the fog lamps.
As to the possibility of putting them around GC8s, I don't know.

I like the round blue look too, got that look on my MY98 OBS not too long ago (though not in the headlights. With just that, it's subtle enough to be tasteful, but still really 'obvious'. :-)

You know you could make some $$$ off of that...i may want you to do that for me some day when I get some EDM projectors ;)
| Ahzlon | 11-20-2003 11:38 PM |
Well that got me motivated.. although my RS has larger fogs... but i'm gonna do some fiddleing and i think i'm gonna install some of those inside my stock GC8 headlights

I did it to my CG8 stock headlights, I had a line across the top of the light and down the center, looked like mean eyebrows, I made one better than the other one so I took them out 'cause they weren't consistant
Now I have LED's pointing to the back of the light, kinda makes the whole light glow

I don't have pics of the led backlighting yet, but when I do I'll post on a seporate thread
I'll hist photoshop to try and replicate the eyebrows, did look pretty cool, but very much a PITA
