Is the Angel Eye part a different bulb? What type of bulb does it take?

Probably a couple of high mcd l.e.d.'s

You can make your own angel eyes with a dremel, clear acrylic curtain stick (hard to describe), drill, heat gun, and some l.e.d.'s.

I have a pair on my motorcycle. Custom bracket and walla instant dual headlights. i would go with a beefier off roadlight. I like them, but on a trail when you NEED light I would have more.
