What kind of car exactly is an 89' EF?

If it's a BMW, then my boss can help you out with halos, or Angel-eyes. Clarify what sort of car it is that you own (tried to google), and maybe I can help you out a little. Give me a shout!

Good luck!

89 EF is a Civic Hatch.

I'd assume he has aftermarket angel eye headlights, and the angel eyes aren't bright enough for him.

Thanks Turbo.

OP, you may look into a more reputable angel-eye company such as Umnitza, and see what they can do for you. I don't know how much different AE for BMW's are compared to your Honda one, but perhaps your ballasts/eyes are not quite up to snuff.

Give Umnitza a shout and see what happens.

Good luck!

Your best bet would be to ask Umnitza or try a little research... not much you can do safely.

Good luck!

I don't know if your Halo's are lit up by LED or not.. if it's LED.. and you wire them directly to the battery.. the LED will burn and melt. Well since none of us can see this custom lights on your car.. why don't you go take some pics and close and as many angle as possible so we can have a rough idea wat you have to work with.

Are you refering to the Halos around the hi beam or the low beam? IF you have halos around the low beam.. ( I can't see and too lazy to copy and zoom in ) you won't see them when the driving lights are on..

If you're referin to the hi beams.. a bright LED will do the trick.. ( but again.. won't know how the ring is installed.. so not sure if the LED is part of the ring or not.. but in a worse case scenario.. ditch it all and get CCFL for computer fans and such.. it'll be nice and bright.. just ensure you regulate the voltage and that your light assembly is sealed.

Kinda like this
