Excellent work Bryan, I have a set of LED rings in my basement to do a set for myself in the coming months as it warms up.

Talk about a hell of an upgrade man, I'd venture to say those look better than the Depo's!

Where did you run the angel eye connections to exit the housing? I was going to feed them through a hole and just use a grommet/silicone it.
Thanks for compliments

Other than time consuming the angel eyes were not difficult to install. I drilled very small holes at 12-3-6 and 9 in the housings as you suggested. I stripped the insulation from some small wire I had and then twisted just two strands through the holes and around the AE to hold them in place. I super glued the tab at the top of the AE to the housing and then put a drop of superglue on each of the wires.

I drilled 2 holes in the topside of each of the housings just large enough to pull the connectors through. I had some 'plugs' left over from the roof rack delete that I cut the sides off and then siliconed in. Grommets would be better but it will probably be necessary to cut a slot to get the wires in the center because the connectors on the angel eyes may not pull through the grommet.

When you get ready for your AE project let me know. I have some tips to avoid the problems I had or caused myself.
