Okay - I just got some pics of my new "Angel Eyes" Driving lights (Optilux by Hella).
Here are the pics, though the don't do any justice. They're 20% brighter than the stock high beams...

Where is the price tag?
Looks good. So the fourth pic is low-beams with the fog lights on too?
You dont have the little switch on the low center console for the fog lamps?
Or did US FDs not come with them?

I'm still trying to find some Angel Eyes that can be installed as pop-up lights.. I think that would look bad..

I have the Knight Sports dual light kit.
I was considering putting the Angel eyes in the high beam lens.
The stock light is made by IPF. I'm not sure if I have to replace it with a different brand of lens that has the angel eye, or if I can take the lens apart and install the kit in it (I heard this can be done if you buy the actual light ring)

Okay - I'll try to get everyone here -
cmartinp28 - Thank you! I thought about doing the clear everything mods, but I can't justfy the few hundred, when it could be going to more desireable mods.
Fd3BOOST - They are, aren't they?!
vudoodoodoo - They make a HUGE difference, Like I said, the pics do NO justice! It's incredible how much brighter they are! I paid ~$45 shipped from Ebay, New.
cmartinp28 again - They are 4" round lights.
rx7machine - I have xenon bulbs, I'll try to post a pic of the pattern - I used a darkened image because it best showed the difference in the two lights. The combination of Xenon bulbs and these suckers (halogen) is amazing.
JT-Imports - THe fourth pic os supposed to be of both the low beams and the new driving lights. The cost was ~$45 shipped, Ebay. I have the center-console switch.

I wired the angely eyes part to come on with the parking/running lamps, so when the light switch is in the 1 or 2 (parking or h/l) mode, the angel eyes are on.
I used the factory fog switch and wiring to power the relay that came with the lights. I was going to just tap off of the factory fog wires, but the factory lights are only 35 watts. I did not want to blow the factory fog switch with a 55 watt lamp, considering the fact. switch powered the fogs directly and not through a relay.
I had to remove the front bumper cover and bumper reinforcement to get the angle on the moungings to drill the holes. If you have factory fogs, alignment of the new bracket for drilling is simple. I'll be willing to help anyone who needs it!
