well, whether or not you all like the angel-eye look, you have to give this guy props for that how-to... the write up and diagrams are just amazing.

yeah, but that's why that how-to is so great, because it explains every step.

it's not exactly a low-buck mod, either... $40+tax just for the 8 white LED's.

My current money pit comes to the rescue....PartsExpress sells LED's and Resistors, cheap.

ULTRABRIGHT WHITE 5mm LED.....$3.90 EA (1-9) / $3.35 EA (10+)
http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/pshow...number=070-009
220 OHM 1/2W Resistor / 10 per package....$0.49 PK
http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/pshow...number=002-220

You will have to pay shipping, but I ordered a big box with several speakers (like a 12" driver and 4 5" drivers) and crossover stuff and it was only $10, so you can either order some other stuff or pay the small shipping charge for about 3 ounces of electronic parts.

that's still $32 + shipping for the LED's. I probably wouldn't do it either, but you must admit the how-to is very well done.

That's one crazy how-to. That guy should sell those intructions. I wonder what took him longer, the write up or the actual project? Angel eyes idea sounds funny to me though...on a teg. I saw some angel eyes driving lights today at pep boys, and they even had them on an integra in the picture!

btw, eLED.com has leds pretty damn cheap. It looks like a comparable LED runs like $1.00 each.

i agree the writeup is really good, but i myslef leave that to the 2k1+ 5 series. nothing makes that look look nicer than a 540i six speed.

Just grab some red ones instead, those are real cheap. That would look much more tizzite y0! too.
