Yes there are from ebay. I find then to be a lot brighter than the stock lense. I haven't gotten the Halo to work yet.. That's the next project..

Yes, second that. Id also like to see them finished.

Btw Todd, James had a writeup about an angel eye conversion for an e21 which if you decide to do this could be useful! Its on my list :-)

Pho made from beef bones and cooked for 48 hours? Or are we talking different Pho? :-P There are some great internet things about Pho going around right now, I was just wondering if we were on the same page :-P _________________

So I tested the Halo yesterday and found that a set of light did not work. Emailed the vendor to get a new one. So Hopefully be able to work on this next week.

Im really interested in this project. I have a 1970 2002, and rewired the headlights so they have relays to the hi/low switch because it was getting hot and smoking.

It stays nice and cool now, and Im ready to put some new lights on. I was considering those ebay ones as I think they look cool, and cheap!

Please post about your progress with these lights, getting the halo to work, etc. I would love to mimic your work if you find some good results.

Thanx, Lance
