Hi all,

Right I've just bought myself some new shiny things last week, a Spotlight grille & some stainless steel bumpers.

The grille is to replace my original grille which has been slightly bent by the way my father & decided to attach my old spot/fog light bar. I got the grill because I never use the fogs & it holds my spots still (& is shiny!)

Anyways, I bolted it all up the other day & before I could clean the car up for a photo shoot for you lot, I found a stone had been flicked up by another car & punched a hole straight through on of the spotlights. So I've swapped them out for my fogs for now but I want to change back asap.

What I'm asking is; would Angel Eye spotlights look bad in the grille?

The grille is for 5" or 5&1/2" spots, The only angel eyes I can find are 4".. Will they look out of proportion?
(Does anyone know of any 5" angel eyes?)

OR


Should I just get another set of spotlights? That'll be cheaper & I wont need to worry about the extra wiring..
(Actually, is it possible to just get the glass for one spotlight? As the other is fine & the broken one is just the glass..)


Is that clear-as-mud? :teehee:

Thanks, Sam

Never really been a fan of angel eye spots, especially 4 inch ones, I'd go for some nice 5 or 5 1/2" classic style spots if it were me

Not sure about the glass, but what spot was it as I have one spare and it may be good for the glass? or even the spot

Oh right, might see if I can get to some shows.. Though to be honest online might just be easier, pretty busy with work >_<

& I guess if your lights are different, I can't grab it then! Haha

How did you get the headlights so blue? Are they Hid, or those xenon style bulbs?

They are white led side light bulbs, and the headlights are e-marked road legal xenons off ebay, but the glass is smoked blue when off, hence in photos of the lights on or off, the lights have a blue tint to them! :thumbsup:

Sorry to bump, but did you buy those headlights pre-smoked as one unit? Trying to find something similar!
