Jesus christ that looks sweeeeeeeeeeet! I FREAKING LOVE the angel eye look!
Edit: After looking at CinCIty's stuff I can see why it can be priced high, it looks to be pretty labor intensive for sure.

The angel eye portion looks super simple. Sand and buff the "popular" areas on the plastic housing. Install the CCFL around and behind the projector bulb and wire it to the parking lights. I wouldn't mind doing this project with someone at the same time, lol

How so? The driveway is inclined so if they appear way to high, that is why. If there is something else wrong, please let me know how to correct it. They may be slightly off from reinstalling them. There is a little play with the tabs that hold them in place.
As far as a parts list, I will post one when I get home. I am at work right now and don't want to spend too much time surfing the web for links
I will consider a DIY, but even if I did one, without taking the lights apart and taking pictures of placement and steps along the way, I think it would be difficult to follow, and perhaps a disappointment.
I appreciate all the compliments guys, this isn't hard to do, but it is pretty labor intensive, and time consuming with a lot of trial and error.
I would love to see them side by side with some headlights from other vendors to compare.
Once again, all comment and criticism welcome.

Right now guys, I am not planning on doing a DIY. I really feel that without pictures it wouldn't be very helpful. I have a couple other things in mind that I would like to try so I may end up either opening these back up or buying a used set to play with. If that's the case, I'll take pictures along the way and put a DIY. I just don't want to do it halfway, if I'm going to make a DIY, I want it to be good
