are u guys adding switches to turn them off and on??

philyork · 01-18-2006, 05:46 AM

I got a switch on mine, on the panel just below the handle bar/grips.

Looks good CB, I like the white on silver.

Yeah, I put a micro switch on my air tube cover, on the inside by the forks.

how deep are the cuts in the rods? the deeper the brighter?

sweet maybe this can be my new winter project. you guys need to post how to's pics for installing them in the housing. thats the only thing i dont feel comfortable about. well and the possibility that they may burn out your lens

rSix04,
You don't want to make the cuts real deep. Only about 1mm or 2 deep. The cuts are only to refract the light so it will showup inside the rings. If you did not have the cuts then the light will not show all throughout the ring. The light would only go to the other end. Kind of like a fiber optic wire. If this really makes any sense.

CB6979,
Good work!!!! The Angel Eyes look good. I see you only did the inside lights. They look Great!!!

I will take some pics tomorrow and post where I put my 2 switches. And also what the Aluminium tape looks like. I have'nt got a chance like I wanted to earlier this week.

hesaves0211,
If I have time this weekend I may take my light assembly back apart so I can take pics of the inside. I have been thinking about doing that anyway so everyone can see how I actually put the "Angel Eyes" in the housing.

tankboy,
Yea I was thinking about doing that as well. But its hard to find good material here in Germany. It took me almost a full day just to find the parts to make my lights. I had to go to 3 different types of stores just to find the acrylic rod.
And 4 other stores to find the LED's. The bad part about being in Germany is the Euro. I would have to charge $10 to $20 more if I would make and sell them here in Germany than I would in the States. So I may wait till I get back into the States. I know some people would rather have them pre-made for them and all they need to do is install the "Angel Eyes" themselves or have someone make and install the "Angel Eyes" for them. If that was not true then HighBimmin and Pale Horse Cycles would not be making and installing the "Angel Eyes" and lighting kits.

So you could see a production of my "Angel Eyes" sometime toward the end of Summer early Winter.

Thanks again for the Comps!!!!
Thomas
