Is there any Angel eye headlights out there that I can put my factory xenon setup into? Or do I have to use an aftermarket setup?

I don't think so. The aftermarket lights are out there because there is demand for a low cost alternative to Hellas. Therefore, most if not all of them will be H7. Hella has D2S angel eyes obviously but they are really expensive compared to their H7 counterpart.

d2s bulbs can only be used with hella lights...any other brand i believe has to use h7 bulbs.

Projector swap or custom cutout to take d2s bulb.

I've never pulled the d2s out, could they be cut into a H7 socket? Are the hellas available without the xenons in them and about how much?

Why not check out the Umnitza Predator Chromiums?
You can add em to your stock Xenon setup... you can pick your color, lifetime warranty, not very expensive and not to mention.. they look pretty sweet.

Hmm...
I can't find them either... I haven't searched ebay in a while....:(

What you're looking for is the lense that is used on the projector39's. They're sold seperately. I know that Soco purchased a set and has them on his car. You may want to send him a pm to find out where he bought them from.

If you do decided to go this route, you'll be one of very few who have done so. It's a a very good look and still allows you to keep your factory xenons :buttrock

So just the lenses are sold seperately, then you buy or transfer your lights into them?
