Nah it would look much better on my car, so why don't you just take them off and bring them over.

Looks good wacky.They still sell those lights in the Whitney catalog.I was thinking of buying a set but didn't know how they would look on the rx's.Now that I see how they look I might buy a set.

Now I can see at night
thanks bro. I will take more pix today so you can see how it looks. I had to try it coz its hard to drive using old style of headlights. Maybe Im just getting old OR I just got used to driving newer cars with HIDs.
Installation tip:
The “angel eye” has 2 small bulbs on the side. To install it, you have to notch the side of the headlight buckets along with the header panel (radiator side). But I don’t like butchering any of my cars so I installed them in vertical position (top to bottom), instead of side to side. It means I only butchered the headlight buckets.

We old toyota guys leave the "ANGEL EYES" for the Ricers and their Civics. Now you're not going Ricer on us Wacky, "ARE YOU???"
But seriously if you want brighter lights try the AUTOPAL H4 convervions and put a set of Silverstar bulbs in them. I'm running that setup in my TE51 Corolla. They work great at night and still look like old sealed beam bulbs. Just a thought. You can pick them up at swap meets or on ebay for 30-40 bucks a pair.
I'm just not a fan of those crystal looking lights.

Probably just getting old wacky lol... but the lights look more yellow than bright though, so probably still hard to see with it.
Yeah, those H.I."DD"s
sure look very nice though!
