Lightbulb Angel eyes for Sleek headlights

Has anyone tried to add angel eyes/halos to EVO-R 90mm headlights?
Just wondering if there's enough room to fit those rings from ebay.
Even though the headlights are 90mm, the outer diameter is a bit large imo.
So wondering which diameter rings fits well and if it's possible to fit without cutting anything.

Should be an easy task to accomplish. There are a bunch of companies that make angel eye LEDs in various sizes. Here is a link to the ones I recommend. They are from Morimoto:

You can measure the outside of the EVO-R 90mm lights and then select accordingly. Very easy to install. Here is a video of the Morimotos I used in my 99 spec turn signals. Good to 1:22. Very bright and good quality:

They are 60mm and 70mm LED rings from The Retrofit Source. While the lights look simple, it took a crap load of work to reconfigure the turn signals. Here are some of the details:

Whereas the angle of the EVO-R headlights is straight up (so you can just add in the angel eyes), the 99 spec units needs to be modified to properly set the rings.
