An Idea - Brought to Life, Colored headlight idea- GOOD PICS Options

[mgnt232]

GOOD PICSSS!
So for some reason my driver side low beam housing has a 1/2" hole in it, and after I did all the lighting on the interior in my car (check the thread) I thought about sliding some sort of LED or light into the hole?

I dont want to take off my FB to take out the headlight and do a "halo" thats why I have this new idea


Anyway I bought Super Bright LED's from radioshack (plan to put 2 in each headlight, but just bough one for each low beam to see if I liked it)
It was a bit of a pain trying to get the wire through the headlight and through a very small hole, but totally worth it.

PICS-
(again I plan to get 2 per headlight so it will be a bit brighter, although it is bright enough my phone just cant take that good pics)
Give me some feedback-love-hate-ideas? thanks!

just be careful. penalties for driving around with aftermarket light modification is quite steep. When you have these turned on and car parked on public parking lot.. that is still considered as if your car was on the road so a cop in bad mood can spoil yours. Back when all of these lights first came out (around 2001 ish) a lot of people rode around till cops started cracking down on things like windshield sprinklers. I think the only work around was having all these a particular color and then it became a running light.

At some point I had like a 1000 bucks worth of street glo products. Those were the good old days of HIN, NOPI and other shows I went to.

Firstly, we're both in new york...I know in WNY the police really don't care about this kind of stuff, more drunk drivers and whatnot (With the exception of Amherst, they're on everything) unless you're driving with them on. I highly doubt they'll pull into your parking lot at work and write you a ticket for having decorative lighting on. They could, but I did it for a year between my sunfire and my Celica, and never had an issue.

Secondly, looks good.

Thirdly, I'm really starting to dislike you I'm in the process of wiring in 360` red LEDs into my JDM Projector accents...and you go and show off a similar idea first.

Also, if you don't have much use for your high beams, superbrightleds.com sells 9005 base LEDs that you can turn on to illuminate your high beam lenses. Just a thought...so you could have one or the other. Or both.

Here's a pic of mine when I tested them...had my fenders and bumper off as you can see:
