Mk3 Cavalier Owners Club | Vauxhall Cavalier Dot Com

What does everyone think of chrome and smoked angel eyes?
Where can I get quad lights for the cavalier?
Or even smoked standard lights

angle eyes are mixed opinion's buddy some member are running them n some aint

morettes do pop up forsale now n again but getting rare these days (also 2 typres on morrettes/qaud lights

smoke lights need to be made diy style




popped the 6 metal clips off n popped the lense out


then masked ,key'd and primed the reflective part


then sprayed it, i chose satin black to do it


then pealed the masking tape off looking better


refitted lense n clips one done


both finished

fitted



also one type or morettes

Morrottes for me mate look awesome

Morettes for me,I have had both types of angel eyes and were piss for light,also had home made smoked headlights,did look good but changed them for angel eyes,worst thing I did when the dark nights rolled in.

as gsi pie said no need for the oven just six clips then of comes the glass the oven trick is for mk3 astras but even then i just used running hot water. For both my astra and my cav I used black hammerite lol there is no prep work needed. here's mine with hammerite smoked lights.

Did you use black hammertoe paint put on with a brush?that masking up looks like it will take a while

i used halfrauds satin black

take about 10 mins masking up etc

i just used brush on hammerite and took it slow to avoid going onto the main reflector i did get one little dribble though but it wiped off clean after 5 mins to let it dry slightly

Both the sprayed on and brushed both look cool !

is there not brush strokes though?

nope thats what i love about hammerite it looses the brush stokes as it drys and plus the glass for the lights is patterned so if there is any you don't notice them

dont think it matters if you spray n paint it one

as the lense will hide most on it as said above

Quite the opposite for me, the angel eyes light up the road as hell. I think the angeleyes give good light, have some night breaker bulbs in them.

Didn't catch n to the brush strokes bit .sounds handy enough

I have the black angel eyes in my cav, I have no problems with light as I bought then so I can have HIDs

Them angel eyes are cool looking but expensive

I didn't pay much for mine, and got the hids for free, I have another set of angels eyes in my spares box but one lense is broke
