    ya I wouldn't have done it witout an eyebrow cause at the top middle of it u can see the cut off where I taped the led's together. Opening up the headlights was pretty easy. I used one of those pry bars that people use to pull out floor side moldings. I pryed it while heating the silicon area with a hairdryer. I got the halo rings from pepboys which my friend TurismoDreamin told me of. I used an old toaster oven and heated them up until they were easy to bend. Warning please use gloves. Didn't on my first one and ouch! Also be patient cause you'll need to heat them more then once to get the right shape cause on my first try I got impatient and snap. Then I drill the ends and put the led's in it.

    well while my friend Turismo got his projectors I made a little DIY project of my own. It's blue right now cause thats the led that I could only get. I'm gonna get white ones soon so I can be legal and match my lights better.

    That looks sweet. How'd you do it? Split the headlight open? On my first look I didn't like the eyebrows but they do give it a "bmwish" look in the dark pictures.

    a hairdryer can heat up the headlight enough to take it apart?

    I found one on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...ssPageName=WDVW

    I just put halo rings on the search icon. This one is similar to the one I got from pepboys I guess and you also have to heat it up and bend it. If you keep looking around at ebay I think I saw one in the past where you can bend them.

    Ya I skipped making the halo ring itself cause I don't have a dremel, so I just got a premade one. As for opening the headlights I don't think I would have been able to do it without a pry bar with just heating it with a hairdryer. I'll post pics soon when I change the led's and finish painting my eyebrows.

    Yeah, I had an eyebrow on my car for a while to help over up the top of my halo ring when I had them before.

    I have a whole DIY on it here.

    A hair dryer will work, but will take a while. You can use a heatgun or even an oven to heat up the sealant.
