type angel eyes in search box and hilight all forums there are 6 yes 6 pages
The same search in that forum ought to give you something pertinent.
After that, if you're still not satisfied, you could try searching in the parts/mods forum.
Still not happy? Maybe your search terms are too broad. Why not search for something more than angel eyes? Adding the word "white", like "white angel eye" and selecting all forums might help.
Search is your friend, not your enemy...

I believe that that black wire is a fiber optic wire that transfers the light from the bulb to the actual halo rings
