Demon Eyes
Does anyone know how to install angel eyes for mazda 3 5 doors?
I tried taking out the whole enclosure for the lights, I couldn't figure out how to get it out. Maybe I am retarted.

You'll have to remove the bumper in order to remove the headlight housing.
The best way is to put the entire headlight assembly in an oven for about 20 minutes. This will heat up the adhesive that bonds the two halves together. Another way is to use a heat gun, just don't hold it too close for too long or you will melt the assembly.
Resealing it is a whole different ballgame. Some have had success by just using the adhesive that was on there from the factory. Others have used silicone. Either way, you want to make sure you have a very good seal to prevent condensation inside on the inside from occurring.

Do you think it will form condensation even if I do make a good seal on it?
That is my biggest fear, to get condensation in my head lights.
The other question was. Where the hell do I hook the power up to it?
Do I feed it off the power already going to the headligts?

If you make a good seal then condensation will not be a problem. What I would do is once the headlight unit has been resealed and the adhesive has set, dribble some water along the seal. If you see water entering into the headlight unit through the seal, put it back in the oven and reseal it again. Do this until no more water enters the headlight unit.
I had an audio shop install me DDE's. IIRC they connected it to the ignition wire or a switched power source. I also had them install a switch on the dash so in the event one of the DDE's failed I could turn them off without having to pop the hood and undo the wiring.
