Anyone attempted this? I think Angel Eyes are sweet on any car let alone the originator, BMW 5er's. Anyone wanna try it?

Angel Eyes, you know, the Halo's in the headlights, the white or blue circles???

NEMINI · Nov 22nd, 2002, 08:47 PM

not sure the effect would work well on a MINI. BMW's lights are pretty much perpendicular to the ground so you can see an even halo around whereas the MINI's lights are sloped backwards and any such halo effect would end up looking elliptical in nature

ghost · Nov 22nd, 2002, 09:37 PM

i'm sure it can be done, though..

minizzin · Nov 23rd, 2002, 05:41 AM

id like to see this done, in fact id like to see any sort of after market lighting products being made for the mini.

Some aftermarket lights ouwld be cool, I reckon they should make some "projector" style lights in a Suburau Rally car kind of stlye. I'm sure theres a thread in exterior about this. Will have a hunt.

Just seen this for the original Minis, looks quite cool I reckon...

Not such a good picture in the dark....

Nah theyre more of the Lexus stlye lights for the rear and I was more on about Subaru Rally Car lights for the front.

They do look ok, but would look better on a silver car than a black one as shown on website.

Bonjour · Mar 10th, 2003, 11:58 AM

Oh right, gotcha.

noahe · Mar 10th, 2003, 01:51 PM

I like the MINI's lights. Don't think the halo would quite work, for the eliptical reasons already listed above. I would however have liked the little halogen high beams to have been uprated to halogen projector beams for the Xenon equipped cars. Just something else to make them cool, if the Xenon is only going to be the low-beam.

Minty · Mar 13th, 2003, 06:02 PM

hmmm, this looks like halo lights.....

or maybe its just the reflection, but i guess they would look similar.

Paul · Mar 13th, 2003, 06:15 PM

That's a BMW press image (which is why I swapped if for the copy we have in our Cooper S gallery, hope you dont mind).

Minty · Mar 13th, 2003, 08:08 PM

well now you come to mention it.....

course not...

andrewyang · Mar 19th, 2003, 11:59 AM

i agree that angel eyes on the main headlights would be elliptical and not look as good, but what about angel eyes on the driving lamps accessory?

crakie23 · Jun 22nd, 2003, 09:27 PM

i got these from one of rooms.. i'm new to this and i just had to save the pics... here goes

crakie23 · Jun 22nd, 2003, 09:29 PM
