Hey man, most people do it themselves. There's alot of DIY threads to show you how, it's a tricky job. Involves sticking your headlight in the oven, will take alot of time and fiddling around

My advice is DON'T BUY THEM!!!! They are horrible... I've bought the angel eye headlights from ebay and they are absolute sh1thouse!!! sent that crap back and got a refund. The Angel Ring quality is horrid... You can barely see it as its piss weak

pretty soon I'm going to be doing a DIY CCFL angel ring install in my stock headlights and get them painted black.... the CCFL rings are much brighter and you can actually see it during the day time

If you want I can get it done for you same time I do mine... if you throw some cash my way

do it you self mate just remove headlight assembly from car remove bulbs and stuff,, bake in oven low heat for about a few min makes removal of lense easy ... remove yellow bit ... press back lense back in oven to seal it again ..well thats how i changed a broken lense on a 02sti headlight assembly i had with a spare one i had lying around...


disclaimer.. will not be held resposible for any problems arising from the above posted method

My mate bought Angel Eyes and cant stand them. Unfortunately, i used his old peanut lights to use as spares so i could paint the internals matte black so when i baked my lights to take apart, i could swap everything over, put it all back together and wouldn't need to get another sealer to stick it all together which you might have to do if you haven't got a spare surround. I baked my lights at about 80 deg for about 15 min. Check them every 5 min or so to make sure that your not going to melt your lights.
I remember being a bit hesitant at first, but it wasn't as bad as it sounds.
Let us all know how you go.
Good luck.
