Beautiful. I didn't know 6000k looks that blue. I think I'll end up getting 6000k hids instead of 8000k. I like the halos. Lightwerks does a clean job! How much did it cost?

I thought having side markers black is illegal, how do they look when you turn them on?

+1 on 6000K not looking that blue in person. I wonder what settings we need on cameras to capture the correct color out of our HIDs.

It's illegal to not have blinking ambers up front, the smoked part of his lights dont blink with the turn signal, the amber lights up front do, hes perfectly legal

When you turn on your turn signals there's no blinking light in your front??? That has to be illegal.

haha yea... it's not the size of the light, it's the color and if it blinks or not.

it never made sense to me why they didn't make the big ambers blink with the signals, but they dont

I want to do the exact same thing, and have the same car, so I'm sure the price wouldnt vary much

4 angel eye kit =100.00
painted side marker=80.0
installtion of all items plus hid kit=215.00

That looks sexy as $#!T. Adding to my list of To-Do Mods. More pix!!

Qs: So are the angels running in place of your DRL? Is there an additional switch to control them? Please explain, I've never had halos installed and don't know what to expect.

Assuming you'd have to ship your headlights to lightwerkz, it's probably going to cost more than just dropping off your car at their place.

lightwerkz gives you the option of as running them as DRL or having them wired to your parking lights..i had them wired to my parking lights since i pulled my DRL fuse, the switch is your reaguler headlight switch turn once halos and parking lights come on turn 2nd time low beam comes on

You need to tell Caesar to expand! Have him build a shop out in L.A. and I'm sure he'll have Accord owners busting down the damn door.

oh wow, i never thought about that. the lock/unlock must be real snazzy when walking your date back to the car, or hell just walking home by yourself & looking around at the lovely light show whilst locking your car. also, I bet it is much easier to see in daylight that your car is locked in noisy surroundings.

I'm am with BlackListed. Truly stellar 1st mod.

Billy -
or anyone who wants to chime in....
whats the advantage of wiring them on parking light vs DRL? when wired at parking light during the day, you have your tailights on too isnt not? Is there a DRL wiring harness to give constant power for your angel eyes if wired to DRL? or is it completely preference?

lude.to.accord
06-08-2009, 08:38 AM
that does look amazing. I think kopi also did his halos with ceaser. Where you from billy? When it stops raining this week, see if you can get a shot of it from like 10 feet away. Thanks!

Looks awesome .. another fine job by Caesar. How come you didn't have him replace the amber bulbs in front with stealth chrome bulbs?
Also where in BC are you? I'll look for your car on the highway :thmsup:


nonewz, wiring them to the parking lights lets you turn them on/off via the headlight stalk .. besides, it's always a good idea to pull the DRL fuse when you get these because it would look weird with the halos and DRL on at the same time

Kayzle
06-08-2009, 09:17 AM
Ok guys so I plan on doing the angel eyes myself, but I have a few questions number one do you have to manually splice the angel eyes into the wiring of your other lighrs, or is it a simple plug in type of thing

number two, how do you get the angel eye in the high beam to stay i there floating it looks almost as if nothing is holding it so i cant tell how you keep it in there safely without having it move or anytinhtg


and lastly I'd like to have my angel eyes hooked up to my DRL's that way I don't have to turn them on manually, but that ****s bc that means I wont have them on when I turn on my low beams, is there any way to have your angel eyes autmatically come on like DRL's but still be one when you turn on your lowbeams



I realize this post is loaded with questions But im serious about doing this myself and I need a little help

i'm from ridgefield its a small town thats 2 min way from the gwb i normally drive on 80 to go to work infairfield....caesar told me he was gonna pull the bulbs and replace with chrome ones...i thought he did until i took a closer look and realize that he didn't but it didn't matter i didnt ask for the bulbs nor get charged for them...i see you have the same setup:thmsup:...what part of jersey your from...i noticed with your setup tho that your parking lights are not on when your headlights are on...how did you do that?

I'm in Little Falls, right next to Fairfield (although most of my travels take me down Rt3 to Hoboken). The parking light is the amber one in your avatar picture, right? If so, mine isn't on because of the chrome bulb Caesar put in. It only comes on when you turnsignal, and then it blinks amber.

yea Caesar told me he was going to replace them with the chrome bulbs which I thought was cool of him because I didn't even ask for it but I guess he was real busy and forgot...do you know what brand the bulbs are?

Where did you read he paid $6K for his HID? I think your reading comprehension needs to be examined.

From what I read:
price was
lightwerkz wiring harness = 50.00
4 angel eye kit =100.00
painted side marker=80.0
installtion of all items plus hid kit=215.00

i provided the hid kit but lightwerkz sells them

looks cool and the work was done fast :D . i did my own lights and its quite a process so if i had such a place down the street i would have let them do it. I didnt get halos, but the work to get the lights open is the same.
