BMW angel eyes in 04 Accord
Iam Currenty working on retrofitting my headlights with some TSX projectors with HID kit and would like to install the 5 Series Angel eyes in it as well.
The question is, are they powered directly throught the battery or do they require some kinda ballast or transformer.
Here is a picture of what Iam buying. The seller said that they are from a 2005, 5 series and are directly powered but just wanna make sure if someone has done it before.
Thanks

Thanks for the reply. I will post some pictures when I do the retro.

Run them either off the parking lamp circuit or on their own circuit - that way they can run without the headlights on and look damn evil. That has to be one of the best design features on pre-Bangle-ized BMW's

^^ I will connect them seperate with a seperate switch but powered by the Fogs so that they turn on only when I want them but goes off automaticaly when I turn off the car.
I bought them and its pretty pretty cool how they work.
The round things on the right are the bulbs. The bulb lights up and its connects to the black fiberoptic cable which transfers the light to the other end connected to the hollow ring. its a bit yellowish but I will put a bright white light on it when I do the retro.
I will post some more pics when I get a chance.
BTW the bulb and cables are Hella

Has anyone had any bad experiences with the swap? Are these lights (non HID) brighter than the stock halogen bulbs? I'm interested in changing my stocks, I like the angel eyes look but would like to know others' experiences with the projectors.
