Wow looks good.
Do the LED strips act as your turn signals? or only as you arm/disarm the alarm?
And do your stock turn signals still work as well, if the LEDs do act as your turns?

I think these were the easiest to install and they came out really well, but you could've used a MUCH larger projector (like FX-R I think they're called?) to make use of the whole housing and get better light while at it... a bi-xenon would've been awesome and do some kind of high-beam delete for a different look.

the price difference wasn't worth the size difference for me, but the fx-r's are nice. My mini's have a solenoid to bi xenon option, but decided go a diff route.


I wanna see a in-cabin picture of these biggrin.gif

The way they're wired I have as only the running lights.
Currently waiting on a couple LED bulbs to come in the mail, these will be my blinkers which will actually be housed in the high beams!
The stock turn housings will be non-functional.

Be sure to keep this thrad updated, interested in seeing how that will look.
You should shave the stock turns!

Will do, actually I should say that the high beams will still be functional, the led bulbs is off to the side in the housing which should illuminate the housing/reflector when it blinks.

Actually I plan on plasti-dipping the entire car and the turns will be painted over and left that way.. so still be kind of shaved but not in the sense of bodywork.

As requested..

On the highway, driving home from work. Nice, even light out output.


In the neighborhood, here you can better see the cutoff effect.


And in the driveway. Showing the output/cutoff from the driver's seat.

Still gotta fine tune the aiming a little.

Again these are Morimoto Mini H1 Projector's with 6000K HID's smile.gif

Because when I had the stock headlights in I ran a 35W 9006 Bulbs HID kit. And just bought new H1 HID Bulbs to replace the 9006 ones. So all that to say it was cheaper smile.gif
