Lol, thanks for the comments.... The eye lid thing is off because when they get painted, we are painting that chrome stuff underneath it. When I took those pics I was to lazy to put it back on. Don't worry when they're done they will be back on.

I'm doing something very similar to my headlights soon. Installing angel eyes, painting the housing Super White, etc. I'm still planning it out though.
My solution to the ugly orange corners is to paint the reflectors white as well, and then use this stuff on them: http://www.duplicolor.com/products/nitelites.html
Also got some of this: http://www.duplicolor.com/products/illuminite.html but I'm not sure if it would be legal, since the glow is blue, and can't be turned off.
I'm going to test it out and see just how bright and how blue it is. All sorts of uses come to mind, hehe.

i had a feeling that I would get in trouble with the cops... That's why I bought a set of amber LED's from jlevi. I just keep em in the center console. If an officer ever decides to pull me over because of them, Ill just swap them right there. I dont have to worry about popping my hood, everything under there is stock except for a radiator shroud.

Thanks everyone for the comments.
For the installation. You would first need to open your headlights and remove the orange reflector, which is just 5 little tabs. For the clear corners, they just sit right on top of the black bezel. For anyone who has opened their headlights, the stock orange ones had clips that hold them in the headlight. These are a tiny bit larger so they can sit flush with the black housing of the headlight. To keep them secure, you would just run a small bead of clear epoxy around the edge of the bezel, press the corner down and hold for a few min. Let it dry for an hour or so and your done. ***To reseal your headlights properly and not have an issue with leaking or condensation, you just need to buy a tube of black silicone, run a bead along the seal you broke and press back together. If you wanted to heat that or put that in the oven for a few min and press again once warm, that wouldn't be a bad idea.***

damn... this would be awesome. Just so happens my headlights are currently sitting in the garage opened up waiting for my replacement demon eyes to arrive in the mail (me being a clutz broke BOTH of the small halos!!!). If I could get a set of these... *drool*
