Anyone with DDE Angel Eyes?

[Silver Ecstasy]

I actually stumbled upon this MS3 while searching for pictures of MS3 owners with RE-Amemiya carbon fiber sill pods installed, and thought this car was nicely modded!

The DDE Angel Eyes intrigue me, I don't know what kit he used and how hard it was to install:

basic demon eye kit you can buy on ebay for less than $50, DDE might be the brand name. But I believe they are all the same. Mine are 7000K CCFL at least thats what the package said.

Wow man...that's hot! Good job guys! How hard was the install? Did you have to crack the headlight assembly open?

[mazdaspeed32007]

baking the headlights is part of the job. It's not fun. But if you can make them reseal back together nicely without any leaks the job is well done and you wont get condensation inside. Probably a good 6 hour job including taking the bumper off and getting everything installed, put back together and wired up.

yeah, i want angel eyes now... just gotta figure out what i need, since i already the GT package...

i added aftermarket HIDs to my lights, the install was no more than it would if you have the HIDs already installed as stock. You'll still have to bake the lamp housing. But before you have to remove all the bulbs and if there is a ballast attatched to the housing you will have to take it off so it doesnt get baked in the oven.

[Silver Ecstasy]

Yeah man, they look amazing. I don't know if I feel like baking the headlights though lol..

[mazdaspeed32007]

just do yourself a favor and believe everyone that tells you it takes a long time. i was a doubter then i did it and well....i isaid 3-4 hours. and it took me a total of 6. i stretched it out through 2 days because im lazy but total work time about 6. they look awesome though. i find it worth it. makes the car look so much cooler.

[mazdaspeed32007]

i was so nervous about baking too. not a big deal really. once you do it and get thema ll back together your like. oh....well it wasnt as bad as i thought. lol.

[Silver Ecstasy]

Between the angel eyes and the eyelids, the front headlights look a lot like BMW headlights.

Either way, it looks great. I give you guys props for a very nice install!

[daonly1around]

you got an emay link for the kit?

i believe i got the ccfl ones. they were 8000k + or - 200. they look sweet. i paid like 45 shipped in 2 days.

[mazdaspeed32007]

im waiting on my eyelids to come in the mail. i bought them on another forum (mocc) from a member. waaaaiting....i hate waiting.

[UHATEIT]

I personally liked mine better with the eyelids, it looks sleeker. But on the low beam light the eyelid covers some of the ring up so it doesn't look as big.

you took the eyelids off? i love the way the headlights look with them on. makes the car look so angry. totally opposite of the new mazda 3 coming out. and martha stewart would tell me thats a good thing

[daonly1around]

i just want to see long term reviews of the product itself.. but they are awesome looking... nice work

the picture with the eyelids off was right after we installed them onto the car in logik's garage. I hadn't put them back on yet. I wanted some pics of with eyelids and without them so I could see what I liked better. I like that they look larger and brighter with the eyelids off, but with the eyelids on they get the top portion covered by the eyelid and appear to be shadowed a bit more than when they are wide open and not shaded by the eyelid. granted dI have probably the largest size of eyelid they make for the ms3. Logik's eyelids are a bit smaller so they dont overshadow the angel eye. Mine actually stick out from the headlight the way they are made to look more aggressive than the eyelids that lie flush with the headlight lense.

here ya go. enjoy.

Sorry to be off topic and I don't think it deserves its own thread, but did anyone see this car from that cardomain site the op posted up?

http://memimage.cardomain.com/member_images/9/web/3141000-3141999/3141551_35_full.jpg

Freaking sweet. I wonder what that would look like in white.

[mazdaspeed32007]

that hood is off the japan motorsports site or something. if i remember its crazy expensive. not a fan of the hood scoop thingy nor the vents. the protective body guards under the car are poiintless.....get mudflaps. lol. all thats left is the lip spoiler on the rear spoiler and the front bumper lip. it looks unpainted. sorry to be an a-hole. just my 2 cents. sorry again. lol.

They are carbonfiber. Don't need to paint them. As for the hood, anyone that knows about RE-Amemiya, knows that it's on almost all their car. Do I like it, sure. Would I get it...no. But the overall package looks very nice and I know it must haul around the track becuase well, It's RE-Amemiya

Thanks for the link!!

[mazdaspeed32007]

save yourself money and shop ebay for this. you can get the same thing for more than half the cost. thats what me, uhateit, and logik have. works great and i promise you looks the same. up to you though. if you get a sense of security for buying from xenon guy, have at it.

what the guy below says :)

agreed :) Ebay for less than $50 shipped FTW
Same with HID kits, $60 shipped on ebay for an hid kit compared to $130-150 for apexcone on that one website. They all work the same

[martyxcore]

not that the angel eyes look that bad but im not a bmw. i do what HID's however

[Nokkers3]

Is it possible to buy the entire headlight assembly with the angel eyes already installed? I love how they look but there is no way I can pull off this installation lol.

these on ebay but only 1 halo on it:

there is another one with HID build in, but you're spending like $300 and only get 1 ring, might as well try to do the install.

[mazdaspeed32007]

why would they only put 1 halo in there? the best part is the 3/4 halo. makes the headlight look so BA. thats the reason i bought them.

[mazdaspeed32007]

not that the angel eyes look that bad but im not a bmw. i do what HID's however

its not about "being a bmw". its a type of cosmetic styling. i put some rota tarmac 3's on my car....im not trying to be an STI or Evolution. plus, bmw has 2 full halos and ours is a full and 3/4. if you want to get technical about it.

look at it like this. someone has to come out with something first. every person or manufacturer that uses the same thing isnt trying to be that car. it looks good....people do it. it was a fantastic idea by bmw. if i wanted a bmw, i would have bought one. and it sure as hell wouldnt have been just for the halo's.

i wanted to reply to that guys comment with a smart ass one, but figured fuck it not worth it.

I am not impersonating a BMW, I'm copying another ms3 owner who did his and I liked it. It has nothing to do with looking like a BMW, but looking like a SICK ms3! :)

So every car with halos should be a BMW?
