No!, that kit is just a "Fish Eye" type lens, have a look at the ZT with HID headlight and you will see that the headlight has no reflector, same goes for the Vx vectra etc.

The headlights both have parabolic reflectors built in, you would have to heavy modify the headlight make it work properly.

ok cheers dude

They make a strong claim though don't they! Compatable etc, road legal etc and quote the relevant quality numbers. £200 is a bit steep for something that isn't spec'd right.

i saw them as well and quite fancied them, but if they dont fit then

a zs would look evil with some angel eyes, thats the one thing they should have made if nothing else

if your brave enough you could make your own like i am for the ZR.
Yes i know there are angel eyes for the ZR but they are soo poorly made and rubbish

i recently bought some faulty angel eyes for a little project im working on

so i cooked them (250c for 10 minutes)



prised them apart



and then took of the inserts and OMG the design of the angel eyes is soo shabby! i was going to cut of the clips so they look "unbroken" but when i checked, i found they are there for a reason...to hide the LED bulb!





i can see why the angel eyes failed, dont think they will last very long tbh....
im puzzled as to why they have been designed like this. all other aftermarket angel iv have seen for other cars seem spot on

hopefully il be able to redesign these and improve on them :trampoli:

some one off lights coming soon :headbang:


update*
just been working on the Halo tonight, loads of trial and error and still not perfect but here are a few progress pics

The halo first started off as a clear acrylic rod. which was baked for 5 mins at 200oc


once it went soft i quickly shaped it before it harden again
here you can see i got it pretty much spot on


Then i chopped off the plastic clips at the front
(the rod fits nice and tightly which is a bonus!)





Then i made the grooves the give the ring the angel eye effect


and tested with 2 blue leds (this is just for testing purposes, i will be using ultra bright white LEDS









still needs a lot of work doing to it atm

Looking good mate, I saw that 'how to' on the internet a while ago but the bit about putting my lights in the oven put me off!

alternatively you can use a hairdryer or hot air gun...just might take a little longer
