Angel Eyes?

[05Linc_LS_V8]

Hey, I was thinking about putting Angel eyes or another LED strip to simulate angel eyes. I already put the LED strips around the headlights, but will the angel eyes be over kill? And do you think the led strips to simulate angel eyes is a good idea?

Thanks

I would like to see angel eyes with the accent you put in the fogs -the accent you put under the headlights. I think the strip under the headlights would take away from the angel eyes if you added them to your current setup.

Yeah, i agree. or do you think i should just leave it the way it is? Im also thinking about putting the LED strips in an Angel Eye form on my other LS. Its a Dark Green Metallic 2000 LS V6. Do you think the LED's would look ok instead of the angel eyes?

I love the LED accent in the fogs. You make me want to do that now, so any info would be appreciated. I think the accent strip looks good also, but I think that angel eyes would look better than the accent strip under the lights with the accent in the fogs. I really like how the fogs look. I have the grey sealent lights, or I probably would have gone angel eyes by now.

The grey is the one that bakes off..

I guess that is more of a green.. That would stand out in that car.. In a good way of course.. Make sure to get the LED ones..

 

[05Linc_LS_V8]

thanks, do you think i should just use the LED strips and form them as the angel eye shape? or actually just buy angel eyes?

The strips formed into a circle would probably look awful during the daylight. That is the good part about the umnitza rings, they look professional in the daylight.

 

[FASTLLS]

Agreed.. Spend a bit more for that look..

 

[05Linc_LS_V8]

ok, where did you buy yours?

 

[FASTLLS]

I don't have any yet.. I went on eBay and found them.. If you call the number in the ad and mention LVC, you get a discount..

 

[05Linc_LS_V8]

oh sweet thats nice, yeah i think ill do the angel eyes for sure. they look awesome. thanks for the info !

 

[FASTLLS]

It's something like 25 off..

No problem..

If you want to see them in person you can check mine out

 

[05Linc_LS_V8]

oh nice, thanks. yeah the angel eyes def have more class than the LED strips, but I think either one looks cool. Im prob going to buy those angel eyes. bullschmidt, your car def hooked me in lol

 

[Bullschmidt]

Why are you putting them in the gen1 and not the 05?

 

[FASTLLS]

Because Alex said he's done..

 

[05Linc_LS_V8]

haha, Im asking myself the same question, but I put so much time and effort into the 05 for the LED strips, im not sure I want to change them now. but maybe in the spirng when its warm. i def like the look of the eyes

Umnitza's angel eyes look good in the day light because they have 60 led's perfectly lined up to form the circle. LED strip in a circle to simulate angel eyes wont look as nice. Here a video of some angel eyes that have 40 led's and even these, to me, dont look nearly as good as umnitza's, now an led strip will have less led's than these.

totally ruins the effect..

 

[05Linc_LS_V8]

yeah i agree, that doesnt look right. it looks cheap. yeah i'll just spend the extra money to get the angel eyes. i think i'll wait till spring to do it. my garage isnt heated so its a little cold. but thanks for finding that video
