Default Demon Eyes questions

What are demon eyes used for?

I have seen several places that say that they can be as bright or brighter than low beams. Does that mean I can use them at night for driving?

Are they street legal for use at night, or are they just for show?

I really like the looks of them, but don't want to cough up the change to buy them if I can only have them on while parked at night.

I don't know about "Technical" legality, but I've never had a problem and since they are white, I don't see why any cop would... all the beemers have them, so why can't we.

And... No, they are not brighter than your driving lights... The light is a much whiter light and shines really clear and you can see it from far away, but no way in hell you could drive with solely using them at night... They light up my garage, but that's about it... (They are not directional lights, so the light dissepates away from the core assembly)

I drive with them on day and night and you can see them in both situations, but at night, they are even niftier... and you can see them over your standard low beams, but they are not as visible if you run them alone.

Dusk is the best time for these... you look freekin' scary.

Same concept, except angel eyes tend to go all the way around the assemblies... our housings on the TC aren't really designed for that application, so they only go 3/4 around, creating really mean looking eyes, that's why they are called "Daylight Demon Eyes" cause that's what they look like. Angel eyes get their name from the HALO type effect they produce....

No Halos on tC's... that's for sure.

Demon/Angel eyes are used as accent lights in high-class cars (BMW for example) but some people have retro fit them into economy headlamps so we can look cool too. Here are some pics of demon eyes: https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...d98e50600498c4 (scroll down)
