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:

here's mine:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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
