Home Made Angel Eyes

I know this is from a motorcycle forum, but the process for making the angel eyes is the same. looks fairly simple and are alot better looking then some expensive knock offs

you can get pretty much any color angel eye rings for $5-$10 off ebay. might save a little time. although i'm not sure how those are supposed to be powered i just thought i'd throw it out there.

All depends on the size, because I've seen specific sized HALO's for my bike go for $25+. I sent Will a write up I saved off a Honda Tech forum, there's a lot of good information out there. I'm hoping to have a write up for the forums on this as well. I've saved and read a lot of information about this and its certainly something I want to do for my Camaro & motorcycle in the near future.

yeah i researched a little more and found some good info. do you need a resistor calculator? http://ledcalc.com/

how are you going to do them with the sealed beams? or are you going a different route like me? it will look great on the bike too.
