Default Combination Clear Corner and Angel Eye install pics...

Since my side markers were already smoked I decided to go with smoked Riso Clear Corners. And since the headlights were going to be apart I went with the Bipes Angel Eyes. All these pics are taken in the garage since is was dark outside.

I used paintscratch.com to match the housings with Lake Silver.

Angel Eye on full.

To get the orange color I installed some trailer side markers over each opening in the reflector. I carefully drilled each side and wired them in.

I picked up 4 of these from Walmart for less than $10.

A look at the back of the reflector showing the wires holding the orange covers. A hot glue was used to cover the wire front and back.

Thanks again to Jeff and Riso for great products and service. I'll post some better pics of whole car in the daylight soon.

Default Nice combo. I love the smoked with the lake silver...>>

BTW - what color did you use to paint the inner housing? Also, I used Schwing's mod for the amber turn signals.

Default Very nice. I have a similar set up but need to put those eyes in. They look great!

Default Looks like some quality work on that nose. Looks good!

I only ran wire into cockpit and connected the switch. Its a temporary setup until I get the time to do it right.

Default Thanks, I use a very good paint shop :-)

I'm really only concerned about the wiring. I'm not all that confident with electrical stuff but Jeff's pages seem pretty straight forward to follow. I have taken my bumper and headlights off many times so I'm not at all worried about that side of it. Let me know what you end up doing with the wires.

Default Very nice - Would you post some daytime pictures of the angel eyes from about 20-30 feet away.

Also, do the angel eyes work like daylight running lights and come on when you start the car?
