Hey everyone,
I recently saw a couple pics of red angel eyes on a few e60s. Particularly weisslichts augenrot (thats what they call red (
)? I want these so bad, but theres no way they're legal haha.
I don't know much about headlights, (or anything for that matter, still learning, only had my e60 for a month!), so I was wondering if anyone has ever had the red led rings and/or eyebrows with a high power white bulb? Do you think that would give me enough visibility to drive at night and might cut me some slack if I were to get pulled over? Is this even possible or am I talking out my ass? haha
Any and all helps, opinions, and suggestions is appreciated!
Thanks

pm member DKNewYork. He has done this before and it looked sweet. I think blackdove has done this as well. However, it's not worth it IMO.

Thanks man. What makes it not worth it for you? Don't like the look or is it a lot of work?

I like the look, and it's not a lot of work. I just don't think it's worth the risk of getting pulled over for.

Red Angel eyes are easy. You just swap out the bulb. Red eyebrows are a lot of work. You have to cut out the circuit board and replace it with red ones. When I drive, I disconnect the eyebrows.
