Thanks fellas,
Just want to help...

ericzmyers · 10-03-2012, 05:08 PM

the demon eye looks pretty simple, think thats gonna be my next lighting project.

LED strip inside the shroud maybe an amber LED hooked to the blinker circuit to blast the project when you hit the blinker, now that I'm confident at opening the lights (twice now) the possibilities are endless!

Thanks for the thread bro, i doubt i would have done my lights without it!

Hows the Demon eye mod coming along. Can't wait to see pics.

Ben thinking of do it to. I wanted to put a Chrome coated blinker light bulb in and run demon eye to both, then put some back ground led's in the front bumper and rear exhaust area. Wire it to a in cab switch for instant sexyness for car shows.

I'm not doing anything until your done, want to see how it comes turns out. Get some inspiration from you!

omm370z · 10-06-2012, 05:45 PM

Amazing. I wanna do this but im scared of ******* up my head light lol

Nut_N_Much · 10-06-2012, 05:51 PM

Dude its not hard at all. These guys are saving money for other mods by doing it them selves. Just think what you could buy for the car

I will try with a friend who do instals when the car arrives :P

Mr&Mrs · 10-06-2012, 08:23 PM

Joe! My kit will be in Tuesday so we can get started on the lights sometime next week. Dave (Dembflyr) already installed demon eyes on mine so you can check them out. I have a switch to toggle red or blue and they turn off by themself if the headlights are turned on.

Nut_N_Much · 10-08-2012, 06:45 PM

Sounds good,
PM me your address and will get to work..

leighspped · 10-10-2012, 06:48 PM

Sorry for the delay.. I used the Yellow for power and the Black for ground on the parking light. Yellow is only hot when the parking light is on. Some guys have soldered their wires inside the light to keep it all sealed and water proofed. I did mine out side on the Parking light plug.

When you turn your lights on they come on with your lights, turn it one more time and lights go off parking lights and you halos will come on. Thats how I drive during the day. My tail lights are blacked out and hard to see in the daylight, little better now with the flashing 3rd light and F1 light.

Others have ran a power wire from the fuse panel to a switch in the arm rest with a fuse-able link so the could turn them on any time they want with out parking lights.

Hop it helps.

leighspped · 10-10-2012, 08:24 PM

yup. that actually does now that i think about it. what about if i want to run it as an always on? fuse tap to a 12v source like ciggarette lighter thats always on when cars on?
