    Okay so I have not been active at all on this forum. I purchased myself a motorcycle and have been sticking to that. But anyhow, I have been in ttheir communities and discovered an amazing way to make Angel eyes for very cheap.
    This does not involve you to even have to make anything yourself really.

    The Advantages of this
    -----------------------------
    Price! Depending where you buy, it can all run you about $50 total. (Or less)
    Get close to any color you want, just do the searching!
    -----------------------------------------------------------------

    Okay so now here are the details. First what you need to do is order 4 computer fans, that's correct COMPUTER FANS. They are called CCFL fans. You need to make an order for 4 fans total. Two fans you want to be 80mm and the other two 120mm.
    Here are two links that I found them the cheapest on.

    80mm

    120mm

    http://www.svc.com/ccf120rd.html

    The 120 is actually dual fan, so you can add that tiny one anywhere for shits an giggles.

    Then here is the writeup,

    First take apart the light,

    Next step, take the inverter thingy and paint it black, that's only if you want to though,

    Next, cut the wires in half where the light and plug is, or unhook it at the source but get the wire separated, next drill two holes, just a little smaller than an inch apart, big enough for the wires to fit through,
    Then put the wire though and make the light sit how you want it,

    once you have that use this glue to glue it up top

    Now just plug all the wires up accordingly and enjoy!

    Here is how mine turned out.

    Side Notes: To take the glass apart, I didn't throw my lights into the oven, I was to scared, I went out to home depot and got me a heat gun for $20. That thing worked amazingly, took me about 30min because its my first time, but the glass came out, and went back on perfectly fine.

    I hope to hopefully soon see something like this on your guys cars, if not I will be the first one to do it on the car as well :p

    Well what are some questions?

    I did it on my motorcycle so maybe I can help? I did however mess up all my wires today trying to redo something so I need to buy some new wires and connectors tomorrow and go back to rewireing it all,
    However on the car I cannot think it would be any harder, If I was going to do it on our lancers, I would just make a power coming straight from the car battery with a (10) fuse connected just incase, and then have it go to a switch inside the car, an have that connected to the Halos, that way you can turn them on at night or when you go to starbucks and wana let your car pimp itself lol.

    Will be doing this, this weekend. I got the fans in and will let you guys know how it turns out. I'm planning on using the normal AE install instruction on how to take apart out headlights and another one on how to connect them to DRL while using the bypass wire. If all goes well i'll have little walk through that combines them all, including pictures and where to connect wires, ect. Make it all nice and Juicy XD

    How do you make them stay in place? I don't see any brackets of any kind.

    Plus, do you think this would hold up in the same casing as 50W HID's apparently they heat up quite a bit.

    In any case, they look awesome on that bike.

    DO NOT USE!!!
    Sorry but the two sizes are to small for our headlights...I just tried to install the ring and they were to small to go around the rim of the lights. I actually broke the 1st ring tring to stretch it out so it would work :/ Looks great on a bike but it does not work for our cars...Less learned and i just emailed/orded from AutoMoGlow :)
