Nice pictures! I just tried doing a night shoot, but most of my pictures didn't turn out, i'll try a tripod next time. How did you get your angel eyes to stay on? As soon as I open my door they go off, I wanted to try to get a shot with them on.

You need the white angel eyes but great pics anyway
By the way, I don't get the point why needing white angel eyes. They look much better original, dimmed,
a little bit mystic. And they are not driving lights anyway, are they ?

Totally agree, the originals look like the devils eyes, the white ones I see just look like cheap aftermarket mods!

Great pics though!! I would leave the fogs off though and slow the speed down a little.
Also what lens are you using? Looks like you had it at around F5.6?
If you got a cheap fixed focal that will allow you to go down to say F1.8 you will let far more detail in in darker scenes, if you were using one of the kit lenses try going down lower, should do f3.5 no problem. This will also get the car nice and focused and blur the background a little.
