I found this site that teaches you how to make Angel Eyes from scratch and that reminded me of seeing someone on this forum or mbworld having them on their W202... The angel eyes were red.. the W202 was black... I remember that person who posted it said it was his brothers or something.. Can't remember.. I tried using the search button but couldnt find it.. Anyone have pics or the link to the 202 with the Angel Eyes? I want to see how it looks..

And for those of you that have the projector lights you can probably make them yourself if you like. CLICK Here (http://www.geocities.com/crx_auto/eagle_eyes.htm)

Why not? I just wanted to see how it looks. Well I can't do it anyways cause I don't got the Projectors. And I think the Angel Eyes look cool on any car not only on bimmers.

no, I have the stock lights + seperate projectors that will be going in the stock headlights + set of Luminics and Angel light project, maybe later ill buy those clear headlights and use the clear lens off of those - I dont like the ebay projector headlights they sell.

hes worried about putting his headlight in the oven.

A torch will just catch it on fire or melt the hole damn thing - oven just brings up enough heat to melt the glue and make the unit very hot to touch but dont leave it in their for too long keep an eye on it.

I think a blow dryer might be to cold, if its 100 degrees outside, you headlight isnt falling apart is it??? Nad you dont want to get rid of the glue, your doing to reuse it.

1) A blow dryer gets much warmer than 100 degrees. I've used them to soften the resin when repairing hockey sticks, and mold-forming the boot of hockey skates. also works to remove vinyl stickers and all sorts of things that are essentially "glued" on.
2) Why would you reuse the glue? If you pull the cheap lens apart from the assembly, I highly doubt the same glue is going to make an adequate seal to prevent moisture and such from getting into it the second time around.
3) OEM headlamps are glass and clip together. This would only apply in the first place if you're going the route of the cheap ebay projectors.
4) Your excessive spelling mistakes hurt my brain. I've fixed them for you in the quote, but you're on your own with the grammar.

Well im sorry but im no english teacher. What would you use then to replace the glue. Would you use an epoxy or a silcone glue?
We need some kind of spell check for special ppl like me.
