Angel Eyes

Post by g1b50n » Tue Aug 07, 2012 1:01 pm

I ordered these 90mm led rings to fit in my NC30, are 90mm the right measurement or will 100mm be a better snugger fit? Please advise

Id be cautious bout using dipped and highbeams for long periods as they tend to destroy LEDs ;)

Would these fit instead? They are a 100mm but would look shit hot?

They are totally wank. Angel eyes on BMW cars look OK as theya re quality installations with decent lamps/fittings.

cock LEDs will look terrible IMO.

If you were going to do it, then why not find some BMW rings from a breaker and fit them? Do it properly?

Generally dont like angel eyes - but they actually look good in the pics - good for daytime running lights anyway

They are pretty good at night suprisingly they light up the road better than the standard bulbs, a few times i have been riding and its got dark and not realised i only have my side lights on cause i could see everything and were i was going lol
