Can't wait to get them installed!


Whats the install process? Do the headlights still need to be baked?


To be honest I'm not too sure. On the page it says it comes with instructions, yet professional installation needed. Will post up the results when it comes.

You have to bake the headlights to break the seal. You then bake the pieces again to reseal.

Not sure what temperature etc you would use as I have never installed.

Id just get it done at concord customs.. Atleast that way you know your getting good quality led rings and they are installed perfectly.

Depends how much liability you will put on them. Say they F**K up the baking? Baking too long and the plastic starts to warp, it will cost them A$300+ to replace that side.

It's great if there's someone out there who can do these things but you must accept that it may not be a perfect job. It's not their car. It's a job.

I strongly suggest this is a DIY thing. It's literally bake till glue softens, put on the rings, clip back the lens melt glue reform seal, put back onto car. Patience is the key. You need a lot of time as you slowly increase the heat till the glue melts.

So me and a friend installed my angel eyes today. The kit I bought didn't include instructions so i found the ones by automoglow on this website. The rings weren't as big as the outline of the headlight, so they sit just inside the ring. I went to test the angel eyes and turns out one of the lowbeams had been broken.. So I'm driving with 3 angel eyes :P Contacted the seller just before to arrange a replacement. Pics will be up shortly. All in all, it was a success. I would recommend this mod to everyone. It looks great.

Yup. I got mine from automoglow and no issues. Pretty straightforward install although a bit time consuming.
