I installed my angel eyes last weekend. Hooray! It's the Chromium set for Dabears2k
It was a pain in the ass, but they look great. They were a bit dim at first but quickly got to their full brightness, and holy crap are they bright.
I used a wiring harness and set them up to the fusebox. I notched the lenses and fed the wires out of a hole I made behind the high beam lense, then zipped the wires together and sealed the hole with silicon. They come on just fine with the turn of the key, and turn off properly after a short time. The wiring is neatly tucked away and the joint connections are wrapped with electircal tape for that extra seal. I must've did it right, because it's been rainy and crappy for days now and they aren't showing any signs of fogging up or condesation or anything.
Here's the only issues I have.
1. They are kinda dim when first starting up from being inactive for a while. Is this just normal "warming up"?
2. Some, not all, of the rings will flicker a bit when starting the car. I'm guessing this is normal, too, but it doesn't look too impressive in my opinion. Once the car starts, though, they work perfectly.
Am I just being touchy and picky about this, or are these signs of an impending problem that should be addressed?
