Easier Angel Eyes, Do you think these would fit? Options

[razor7]

Hey Guys,
Just like everyone else, I'm in love with angel eyes. Unfortunately, I don't have the money to buy a projector kit with angel eyes. After reading the How-To for the creation of Angel Eyes, a thought jumped into my mind. I recently bought new fans for my computer that come with CCFL tubes on the rear that light up with UV (though you can get them in different colors). Naturally, they run directly off of 12 volts, so no resistors are needed, and they're pre-cut to the right size.

Here's a picture of what I'm talking about. They come in 80mm and 120mm (about 3.15in and 4.7in) and from what I'm thinking would be the easiest mod to install.

and for the lazy among us, a picture.


Within those tubes, there are single tubes and double tubes (a 4.7" outside and a 1" inner). In theory, wouldn't that fit perfectly around the headlight as well? Of course, they would be wired to the ambers so that they turn on automatically.

So, before I open up my headlights and get to modding, I wanted to get your opinions. The only thing I'm worried about would be the tubes melting from too much heat. That should be easily rectified by moving them further out though.

Thanks,

Haha, word.

That's why I'm hoping these will be even simpler. Granted, the original write up on how to make them was simple enough (and I already have all of the parts necessary) but if this can just be a direct "open, screw in, run wire, connect wire, solder wire, close, turn on" procedure, then I'm all for it.
