I would guess they're about 5 inches in diameter, but will tell you for sure when my new ones arrive.

Money..... that's my only problem.

I'm not your problem

. It is a lot of red, but I still like it it looks really good. There's enough chrome on the front-end and all to break it up.

Ok, I was close, they are 5.5" in diameter. The new ones that I got came with clips for easier installation. Will take pics tomorrow when I start working on them.

Ok, I re-did my angel eyes since I burnt my other ones out because of incorrect installation (stupid me). Here are the new pics and the pics of the actual process

How'd your paint hold up to the oven?

Answers:

Got them on ebay, they were ment to be for E46 BMW. They were 35 bucks shipped.

The paint held up nicely in the oven, I've done it twice now and no problems.

The clips were pretty much useless for my car since when I clipped them in, the angel eyes stuck out a lot, that's why I used the tape and LOTS of superglue.

No, I bought them from Autotecknic Motorsports located in CA.

Ok, finally everything's done and working nicely, the angel eyes light up blue, pretty hot!!

Looks exactly the same as it was before, except now it's fully functional. Will take some pics at night (right now it's only 3:30 pm).

Mine came with 4 as well. The only thing is that that is ment to be for 2 headlights (2 angel eyes in each). The are connected together with a chip. 4 wires going into the chip (ground/power for 1, and ground/power for 2nd) and only 2 coming out of the chip (ground/power for both). DO NOT cut away the chip (that's what I did the first time and I just ended up burning the angel eyes. Just cut one of the rings off from a pair (keeping the chip attached.

Hope this helps,
