leon angel headlights

[murtagh_sean]

Do you mean the angel eye ring? If so it's just held on with 3 spots of 'soft' glue. It has 3 lipped clips that locate it, but it's not a secure fit hence the glue. I reckon a hotglue gun would be fine to fix them back in place with. It does mean removing the bumper to get the lights off though which IS a pain.

10 minutes with a hairdryer around the seal once you've taken the metal clips off will seperate them ( will need a bit of pulling ) but just make sure you've got some soft sealant to seal them back up with.

Yeh it's the Angel Eye ring...was trying to sort out the steaming up headlight problem when the ring fell out ...then since the ring has been up beside the full beam which has melted the top of it stupid I know but knew the front bumper was a pure handlin to take off so didn't have the time to save the ring

But on Wednesday a mate of mine is doing a few finishing touches to the Leon so the front and back bumpers will be coming off so I will be trying to sort out the headlight with both the ring and the steaming up problems and going to put in a set of ice blue bulbs (no HID's yet ) into both headlights too...may as well seeing I'm going to all the effort with the front bumper

Tell me this I had a quick look the other day at the rings and I noticed that there were small bulbs that light up the eyes is that correct?...would you have any tips on how to make them a bit more whiter/bluer because as they sit now they are very yellowish?

You can just replace them with W5W xenon coloured LEDS ... direct fit Either that or do what i'm doing and replace the entire thing with CCFL halo rings

Thanks must try putting in the LED's because the yellowish rings wreck my head

How many LED's would I need to get is it four?

Let us know how the CCFL halo rings go hope you'll have a few pics up

 

[UncleFester]

you're going to cry .. it needs 4 LED per ring and there's 2 rings in each light plus one LED sidelight

Pics of what i'm up to are here

Ugh I think I am going to cry

Had a wee search there on ebay would this be the sort of LED bulb you mean? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2X-6-LED-Xeno...ryZ72233QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

How much do you recogn a shop might sell these for or would Ebay be cheaper? Can these be fitted when the bumper is on or would it have to be off?

 

[UncleFester]

Have a look here http://stores.ebay.co.uk/warden-jp2...-bulbs_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZ1QQfsubZ4QQftidZ2QQtZkm and yes they can be fitted when the bumper is on, it's a bit of a fiddle but you can do it.

 

[murtagh_sean]

Ah great stuff I may get buying off that link then will come in very useful What would you say would be better for Ice Blue bulbs having a White or a Blue ring?

As long as it can be done with the bumper on because I doubt I'll get the LED's on time for Wednesday when the bumper is for coming off

 

[UncleFester]

I would go for a white light as it still has a hint of blue in it ... the blue leds are really BLUE. Just remember the LEDS only work one way round in the plugs even though they fit both ways Be careful removing the glass wedge bulbs as they're fairly thin glass and can shatter if you squeeze them too tight when removing them.

That's what I was thinking too...the bulbs I have I think are just very white with a hint of blue so the White LED's will match them perfectly (hopefully) Yeh I'd be pretty handy with electronics studying to be a technology and design teacher one day...note the "one day" who knows then that will be

Oh God good job you mentioned that because knowing my luck they'll get shattered

Thanks for all your help let's just hope I don't mess this up

Hi all,

Interseting post. I have some agel eye lights like the ones above but have not yet had the time to fit them. Still trying to weigh up pros and cons!!!!!

One question though... what bulbs do these lights use?

 

[andycupra]

id not advise using 'xenon effect' side light led bulbs for the rings... as these are quite blue and its just going to get you stopped.

Dipped and high beam are H1.

 

[murtagh_sean]

Dipped and high beam are H1.

Yea just found this out yesterday...bought new bulbs (2 x H1's, H7's and Sidelights) before actually checking and found out both full and main beams are H1's

Nice headlights if you like the look of them...change the bulbs of the angel rings before fitting them to the sidelight LED's like discussed above because the bulbs are far too orangey!

Bought Xenon bulbs there the other day because the bulbs that come with them are far too dull can hardly see a thing!...HID's are a possibility but you have to file the holes for the bulbs to fit!
