66 impala with HID install

The rings light up by plugging them into the back of the headlight.

That's sounds easy enough. They look really good by the way.
Maybe I'll try a set for the Elky.

Hello everyone,
happy holidays. Well, i decided to upgrade my headlights on my 66. I was not happy with my stock headlights at all. So what i did is buy a set of BMW headlights and install them. It took a long time to do it because I had to make a lot of custom fabrication in order to make them work. I also installed HID lights to help with the visibility. The end result is CRAZY!!! I can see A LOT, but the cool thing is that I'm not blinding anyone do to the fact that projectors have a "cut off line" that eliminates glare to other drivers. I am very happy with this conversion. Let me know what you guys think.

Sal

very nice!

Simply badass...

Of all the cars I have seen done thus far... this, just works ! I mean, it fits and really just blends into the grill.

I just hope Steve-o finishes up on his set-up for the F-Body...

so what HID bulb kit did you get and from where and how much did those end up running you? also what temperature HID's did you get? i assume the headlights came with ballast's did the wiring go pretty easy?
how hard was the wiring to do to make all of that stuff work with the old technology and the new?
what is the difference between the angel eyes you have and the "real" angel eyes??

Did u get the halogen lens or the regular lens, and did the lens u got off ebay already have the hid bulb in it?
