I found this youtube video where a guy makes his own led angel eye rings. Something to add for your ABM Projectors. What you think guys?

Tried to do some on my buddy's 06 Grand Cherokee, long story short, decided not to, but they're not too bad to make

Im not sure about if it will melt or not if you leave it for that long. I guess only way to find out is try it. Im still looking for those plastic blind turners so i can start doing this project. Let me know how it turns out.

Mine melted. haha.

If I were to do this again, id save my money and try out something like this first.
$5 and if you dont like them. oh well your only out $5 and 10 minutes of test fitting.

they come in many different sizes and types of led's so im sure you could figure something out.
not sure how they would look on stock housings.

Have fun because they wont be going on my car :)
They look better on the cars they came on stock.

I remember when these were cool. In high school.
