angel eyes look awesome!!! which are those?

I had the mycarr ones in my e36, interested in picking up another set, but with harness so I dont have to cut any wires (I spliced into my park lights)

iv got the auto gauge angel eyes i also tapped into my park lights but i didn cut any wires i just used the bm park light connection by plugging the wires from the harness that came with it straight into the bm connection and sealing it

I did an angel eye install on a friends M3, tapped into the aux wire and ran another tap on the interior lights positive, that way the angel eyes fade on when he unlocks the car, and stay on while the car is on due to the aux feed.

Exactly like this

thats a great way to hook them up nice feature to when you unlock the car abit more work but well worth it

its actually really easy, you simply run a wire into the firewall, through one of the numerous holes (just pop out a rubber plug) and then pop your footwell light out, and tap into the Positive wire on that

hmm tempting ! so they fade on once u unlock the car and then they fade off once u climb in and close the doors? jus like the courtesy lights in ur interior??

 

[freerider]

no you see, once you open the door, your auxiliary circuit becomes active for about 20mins, so as long as you have tapped into your aux, then they dont go off immediately, they will also stay on for a while once you lock your car, as the aux circuit stays active for that 20mins odd

power! sounds like a great mod thanks
