couldn't you just run a couple t-taps off of the wires for the parking light bulb and have both? that should work...

 

Yeah, but the Parking Light Bulb does not match the rings at all and is really really Yellow in comparison... I just left my lights in there and disabled them.

 

but i plan on replacing those bulbs with either a white or blue LED bulb as soon as i get the car.

 

I tried that... and I couldn't get anything to match right... hyperwhites and others still didn't cut it.

 

hmm... i just wish the glowing material wasn't white. a good pic of the finished installation on the car with the demon eyes NOT lit (during the day) would be nice. our light housing is charcoal gray and chrome, so i am not sure about the aesthetic of the white ring during the daytime. but it could just be how i am picturing it in my head.

kind of an extreme installation, though. unsealing and resealing the light housing isn't for the faint of heart (and i'm not saying that bc i'm scared... i've done way more extreme and permanent mods to my other car). i have to agree with the previous poster who said that it's a stretch to call this a change to your car which doesn't require a "mod" to the oem parts. installing a strut tower bar is a "no mods needed" kind of installation. i'd say unsealing and resealing your headlight housing counts as a fairly advanced "mod"....

still, the finished product is pretty hot. my preference would be to wire them up to a switch so i could leave them on when i'm @ a night time meet without leaving all my parking lights on. but hey... that's why i love scions. we personalize them to our own standards, not what everyone else thinks!

 

Here you go.





The DRL is now disabled.... it looked too yellow....

 

hey what kind of bulbs are you running next to those demon eyes? nice job btw im gonna try this lol

 

Clayton1 Did you need to take your front bumper off to get to your headlights i was just wondering

Thanks

thanx 4 the daytime pic. hey -- here's a follow up question. when you melted apart your light housing... did any of the sticky sealant stay on the charcoal gray piece (the one you attach the angel eyes to)? or, did it all stay on the clear plastic piece?

 

I too had immediate issues with the ballasts shorting out and corroding due to water (mounted them under headlights). I'm going to seal the ballasts with plasti-dip or some silicon and make sure the new ones go on the radiator support beam like Umnitza reccomended (after I contacted them). AND YES, you must remove the bumper to remove the headlights and install the wiring. This is not an easy mod... if those of you who aren't tech/mod experienced want the angel eyes I'd suggest having your local body/speed shop do it for you.

 

So does anyone know exactly how the parking lights work? Are they only on when the parking brake is on? Are they only on when you have your low beams on?
Would I be able to turn on the angel eyes during the day time without the the low beams?
Please help. I'm a little confused as to how the parking lights work, especially since the angel eyes are wired to them.

 

The parking lights are on when you click the light switch to it's first setting. Try it when it's dark and get out of the car to see what lights come on. The first setting, which is the parking lights setting, turns on the parking/city lights, the corner lights, and the rear parking lights. The next setting then turns on the low beams.

 

Dang, those look pretty darn nice. I've been contemplating getting those for a couple weeks now. I think now I'm ready to. Thnx bro.

 

the DRL disabled pictures arent showing up.

 

I would like to configure the Angel Eyes like a fog light application (switch on the dash panel). I don't want to hook them up on the existing parking light wiring. Is this possible to use the existing fog light harness/ relay? Does anyone know if it comes on all tCs? If so, where do I find it?
Thanks in advance.

 

i'm pretty sure you can do this. you would need a switch and instead of wiring them in the park lights, you can wire directly to the battery.

 

I have a question about those thin line angel eyes. Are you able to buy those "cords" in any length, be it through Umnitza or some other dealer? Or are these a special product they personally make? Also, are they flexible? How cool would it be if you had some of those in your interior, maybe outlining the dash, or your gauge cluster or something like that, and to help blend it in, and to keep you from being blinded by them in your interior, you could spray on a thin coat of Niteshades. Or, maybe spray on a coat of niteshades to help it blend in, and then put them on a dimmer, or some sort of resistor so they arent as bright within the interior (because I would imagine they are fairly bright in person?)

Comments? Suggestions?

 

they're glass tubes, not anything that can be bent.

 

Dang! When I saw the first pic with them where they're laying on the bubble wrap, I thought they might be glass, but then I thought they might be plastic that's just heat formed. I was hoping they would be like mini rope lights (dunno if you're familiar with those. Used lots on houseboats for ambient lighting under molding and such)[/quote]

 

I know what your talking about. I'd just put LED's in the cabin isntead.
