tempted to just get an hid kit and hook it up into the angel eye slots since they both take h8 bulbs, something like this... has anyone tried anything like this before?

and also depending on how you do it, a custom built circuit that handles the different power spikes/variances that go to the AE's. So if you didn't, sometimes one side would work while the other would not. or sometimes, even both would not come on....yea its not plug n' play.
