Where to get angel eyes + installation in markham/richmond hill region?

[Tokic_o]

I know that Lockdown Enterprises does it....but i just discovered its a little far from where I am located....so I'm just wondering if there is anywhere in/near Markham/Richmond hill that does it too? Be best if they have done it before iwth the 3 and did a good job...thanks guys!

[S.F.W.]

I don't know anyone else that has done it before. But why not contact Jeff at Audio Heaven, and ask him? He's in the area..

[Caz]

I would say stick to lockdown they may be a bit far for youbut they have experience with this install and there are lots of reviews on this forum for them.

[Tokic_o]

no luck....just called both audio heaven and lockdown.....neither place does it....any other reliable place?

[JonsMazda]

I can do it! i'll charge mmmm $50bucks. Mind u....i screwed up my headlight covers, I fryed it to death. But yea! other than that....eveything works.

[JonsMazda]

btw, did u talk to chad @ lockdown? i think he'll do it.

[Tokic_o]

no i talked to Jeff....should i call lockdown again and ask for chad =S?

[JonsMazda]

doesn't hurt to try. go for it

[MattC]

chad and jeff = basically the same entity. So you should be safe to talk to either of them.

Both great guys, both super patient/knowledgable

[Tokic_o]

well i ran out of luck den....because Jeff said Lockdown doesn't do angel eyes anymore ...haha is there no other place to do them? =__=

[S.F.W.]

I wonder if Jimmy/Street Performance would do it? Not normally his thing, but worth a shot..

[Tokic_o]

is Street performance a sponsor? I don't think i see it there? if not how do i contact him and where is it located?

[S.F.W.]

they are not a sponsor, just a shop many users have had work done.

[Tokic_o]

Hey Guys

Just to clear the air of the confusion surrounding LOCKDOWN and angel eye installations.

We *used* to do the installations on angel eyes for $200, however we realised that the time it takes, the cost of any future warranty service, the headaches involved with the installation, and the risks associated with angel eye installation were not being covered by a prce of $200.

When we realised the above we decided to altogether stop doing angel eye installations, however, there was so much demand from potential customers to do the work and we were receiving so many regular phone calls about this type of work that we decided to begin doing angel eyes again.

SO..... we do indeed do angel eye installations, but our pricing has gone up to $300 for installation labour PLUS any required parts (parts would be specialty switches, relays etc etc.). Angel eye installation takes 4 - 5 hours of work to properly perform.

With all the above said, we MUST forewarn any potential angle eye purchaser that in our experience, (not by any means always the case) angel eye ballasts and to a lessor extent angel eye rings are very fragile and tend to have high failure rates down the road (6 - 8 months is usually when problems occur).

ALSO, we must forewarn that the factory seal on your headlights must be broken and taken apart, we 100% try our utmost to re-assemble and re-seal the assemblies just like factory, but there is no guarantee that your assembly will not leak in the future. This fact (no guarantee of future leakage) is why we try our utmost to make potential angel eye installation customers know the risks involved.

If you or somoene you know is interested in this type of work, please contact us by phone or by email. Our details are listed below, and you can ask for Jeff or Chad.

Thanks for the heads up Jeff. We appreciate the honesty and candor of your warnings. All you can do is make the members understand the "potential" risks so they can make an informed decision.

[McGuyver_3]

have you attempted using a silicon sealing solvent? that way they do not leak and if ever need be they are reopenable. Thats what i did with mine a long time ago i may even have some sealent stuff left over. If i havent thrown it out yet iwill bring it by and leave it with you guys. It did a really nice job

[JonsMazda]

I just used Epoxy silicone..

[LOCKDOWN-P5]

Hey Guys

Yes we use a specialty silicone sealant to reseal the lights, which has been working very well for us over the last 6 months.

MacGuyver, I'd definitely be interested to see the sealant you have used though, it's always good to explore alternatives.

Lockdown, how much on average do you think an Angel-eye installation would cost including parts and labour? $400 - $500?

[LOCKDOWN-P5]

Hello TrueBlue3

We do not currently retail any Angel Eye kits ourselves, we just perform the installation.

You'd want to contact Devin (The Xenon Store??) or www.umnitza.com for information on kit pricing itself.

I think the kits range from $129.99 USD on Ebay to $249.99 or so though (just an estimate though).

Devin sells them for $80 bucks tax in.

[Magitronic]

And I think the installation @ Lockdown is another 300 or so. $380 bucks for the eyes, considering your without a car for a bit ... hardly worth it

[WLS ZMZM]

i think thats a matter of opinion! I think they look incredible... but Im in agreement with you partially that it is a tad expensive.... but still a nice looking mod..

[whiteomega]

380 bucks is a very steep price to have what amounts to an appearance mod. yes it looks very good, and yes, a single OEM headlight assembly is about the same price..but i think it's too much.

add to that, as John points out, the risk you take with the ballasts and the fragility (is that even a word? fragility?) of the lights themselves, and it starts to become easy to see why most people don't consider it a worthwhile investment. i debated long and hard about this myself, and then decided that it simply wasn't worth the money or time involved.

[Kevin@nextmod]

Angel eyes? I think you can get them from town and country BMW.
I still only like them on stock cars that come with them.
