Was just wondering if anybody has thought of or actually HAS conjurred up a way to create halo/angel eye/projector style headlights or fog lights, i particularly am after VY but i supose this thread could be adapted to any model. I have bought a set of VY SS headlights from ebay, and as soon as they arrive I will swap them with the acclaim ones, they will become my test dummies. If anybody has any suggestions/help on how to make this work, it would be much appriciated. I will be doing my own research into the matter, feel free to add your own two cents. 1st piece of research, looking up on ebay, i have found two mechanisms: eBay Motors: 01-08 DODGE STRATUS FOG LIGHTS KIT,driving lamps lamp b (item 170149380075 end time Dec-13-07 07:20:55 PST) <-- USING A "LED RING" eBay Motors: CBR 1000RR CCFL HALO Eyes ANGEL EYES 04-07 (item 300178198845 end time Dec-11-07 07:30:00 PST) <-- USING "LUMINESCENT WIRING" Cheers guys, p.s. phreddy (the bloke who does the LED dash conversions, if you could PM me about this i.e. if you can lend any advice/help it would b gr8)
here is my foggies not the best pic .$50 from Kmart includes wiring loom, switch and relay. Best to bin the 50watt globes and put in 100w
NO, it is best to NOT bin the 55wattbulbs in favour of 100watt. These are fog lights and complianced as such, you need LESS glare not more, and in conditions where you use them, your speed will be reduced from normal. The typical forward range of front fog lamps ranges 10 - 25 metres out to 50 metres max, in that unique hand fan shaped beam pattern. If you want driving lamps, used only to aid high-beam performance, see units complianced marked for the function. A driving lamp, bearing on the glass lens the code "HR" near the E mark will do 200 metres plus. See NARVAS online catalogue for either version, They were suppliers to the VX-VY originals (Sth Korean made). They have replacement units that do bear compliance markings. Front fog compliance marking is referenced on the lens as "02B" near the E mark, hee the letter R is relevant. The K Mart lamp you refer I recall does not bear compliance markings, but that said, it is one of those units that actually is a genuine fog pattern.
here mate read these: http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/general/63188-angel-eyes.html http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/vz-holden-commodore-2004-2006/63612-hid-xenon-conversion.html from these you'll get a pretty good idea, i was seriously lookin into doing this but decided not to go any further due to it voiding insurance. the 2nd one is the better of the 2
Did anyone ever go any further with this? I have an 02 VY SS Commodore that is about to get fitted with VY HSV R8 headlights and I would like to fit multi-colour Halo-kits to both the Headlights, and the Fog lights. Much like the image linked below, though it is obviously a camaro. Annoyingly there are plenty of existing kits for the camaro out of the US. Not so for Gen Y HSV headlights so far as I can tell.

I am not particularly concerned about price (within some kind of reason) but am after a quality install of colour changing halo-kits that can be switched on and off independently of any of the cars other lights. I have come across a group called "Blue wire automotive" online who look somewhat promising. Has anyone had dealings with them? Any info or advice available it much appreciated. Cheers
