@optimjumSS

Where have you found the hexagon shape plastic rod, bcuz i checked market for that and they were not available. only available in roung shape, which will not work.

@afarooqi
y wont round rods work? the basic idea behid it is TIR(total internal reflecton) light only escapes from the cuts u place in the rings.

pls scroll downthe page n read what this guy has written.ill quote to make it easier.

""Instead of a round glass rod used by BMW, I used a clear acrylic/plastic rod. I bought it for $1.97 at a home improvement store, such as Home Depot. Not all Home Depot carry them; so you may have to shop around. The rod is actually made for your window blind to open/close the blind when you turn it left/right. It is about 30 inches long with a diameter of 8mm, and you can create 2 angel rings out of it. The rod has a hex-shape structure, not a round shape like the BMW, but it will do just fine.""

@afarooqi

i would suggest u read the complete DIY. he has explained the TIR thing as well with diagrams.

BTW if u succeed in making them share them with us.

[afarooqi]

brother i hav read it but i talking with reference to another article i read on web. he said the hexagon shped rod will reflect better than round shaped. his video showed much clean results also. thats why asking for hex shaped.

In what car model the Angel eyes rings you are look at? Rings will fit on projector lights, i have honda civic 2005 model and i put the rings on Projector lights which look good,

I might help you out, do you know the size you need,.

if you order those rings form usa or europe, if the cost is $50, the duty will be Rs1000/= which i paid :D

@optimjumSS

give me a day to think i lost the website address, they only sell bmw ccfl rings and inverters, as soon i know i will keep you update, so dont worry because they carry all bmw model ccfl rings.

Aslo rings life is more than 20000 which is quite good

[OptimusSS]

@coolkid thank u sir. waiting for ur reply.

i know many website that sell angel eyes specifically for bmw's but they are located in the U.S.

http://www.ddmtuning.com/products/BMW_DDE_and_Mycarr_Angel_Eyes-100-84.html

this is one such website.

I guess Dubai autos got them, but they r in islamabad.

[OptimusSS]

@afarooqi

checked with dubai autos. they have a universal kit that does not fit my lights. he has 2 large n 2 small rings. i need 4 large rings.

[afarooqi]

@OptimumSS

which car do u want them fit into? does he sells alltogether four or can sell in set of 2 rings? what is the price and how many colors available

[OptimusSS]

@afarooqi

im planning on fitting them in my bmw e36. Dubai autos has a universal kit. the kit has 4 rings. i asked if he could send me 4 large ones but he cant. the price is Rs2500 n its avalible in blue n white. what r u planning to put them in?

[afarooqi]

I want to put them in Mazda 1500, only in two head lights. My car has four round shaped head lights.

There is another problem that, we are in khi so cannot analyze what kind of light it is throwing. they should product a decent output not too much not too light. Let see what happens.

[OptimusSS]

dubai autos is the only guy in pakistan who has them. searched the whole of karachi havent found it anywhere. if the sizes are correct i think u should go for them cause they are not too expensive. im planning to buy them from the U.S. they have much better quality and produced specifically for the car.

the lowest would cost 65$ and one of the best is for 200$. a vast difference but u get quality.

@coolkid
waiting for ur reply!

[OptimusSS]

finally found them, but they are of very low quality and the guy is asking Rs.6000 for them. so i think ill start making my own now.
