DIY Angel Eyes

Bought a 2010 SS/TC month or two ago and it had a set of projector headlights on it. No clue what brand or if they were custom retrofits; however, they seem to work nicely and im happy with em. My HIDs died (old set I had laying around) so I took the aftermarkets out, put the stockers back in and decided to DIY paint the chrome reflectors and throw in some halos. Heres how it turned out. Im pretty happy with it!

Sorry not the best images, Ill get some with the DSLR when I get these in the car eventually lol!

Nice work OP.

Can't tell if you have the Fresnel lens or frost lens if its just the pic making the lens look like it. You might want to source some clean lens while you have them open, you'll get better light performance and you should be able to get the light shift cutoff

In the picture just the power supply from my 3D printer, in the car ill tie em to a switched 12V source on the headlight harness if I can find one or wherever I can get one.

Just fine a 12v source somewhere that's switched. Use a multimeter and get the rings from super bright leds website.
