Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Angel eyes... check it!

anybody know a place to get LEDs for making those? I made my own but the LEDs i got from radioshack are dull as hell. You can barely see them even at night. Any ideas...im looking for either white or red LEDs.

I checked out a local computer store that deals with broken comps and general computer parts. $2.50 for super bright whites.

2 or 3, but I like 2 best

I bought a couple from them for my first project, but again, it works WAY better to do it with EL Neon String.

that looks awesome. I like with the blue parking lights for sure!

that looks great how did you do that?

Just in case you haven't found this site yet..

Those Angel eyes are made with LED Bulbs, theyre not as bright as mine ( EL Neon String )

i might give that a try. (haloz)

Do they light up at night with your regular headlights? Or do you turn everything on manually?

Really Nice, but hard to believe you opened up the housing assembly like that

Not sure I would do that. It's a shame Toyota didn't make it easy to disassemble.

The whole heat it up thing makes me cringe, light assembly cost $500+

never heard of that neon string - must admit yours does seem a lot brighter

Like the feature on the Haloz where you can switch between white for driving and a color for "showing"... mmmmm ultraviolet!!

the heat up preocess is really really easy. I was afraid to do it at first but you really cant mess it up. Once it heats up you canjust take the light apart...and then you just have to re-heat it to make the light go back together. It uses a little force but i was able to do it with my bare hands, and a hair-dryer.
