i got a single blue led in my highbeem head light drilled a small hole sliped the led in and silliconed it in and wired it very easy thing to do and looks cool just make sure u blow out the drill shavings or use vasiline on the drill bit to try and catch sum shavings.

Also, check local laws about driving with the blue LED's lit. I know here in Manitoba, the only vehicles allowed to display blue lights to the front while moving are Police cars, and Snow removal vehicles.

There are a couple pictures of them floating around here, they do look pretty sweet. I got red in my headlights (and of course no pics yet). I would go blue... but that would be like painting my engine blue on my red car.

The laws apply everywhere...you can't have blue lights on your car while driving...ironically I had red lights, even my license plate light was red and never got stopped...go figure! If it is just for showing off in the parking lot or at a show or even at the local hang out, then I don't see anything wrong with that.

wire them up to a switch, so you can avoid any unnecessary tickets....

ya i put a switch in the center consol also. I put two blue leds in each high and low beam. I think it looks sweet, especially with the black bezels. You cant see the black bezels in the picture cause its to dark, also it was hard to get a decent pic cause it was so dark.

He is an led machine! He comes into radioshack everyday to buy supplies for his projects, even when he didnt have leds! I must say, he is a fast worker, and a good one to boot.

Bravo sir. Bravo.

Do you plan to clear your headlights and then LEDs the corners? That would tie it all together perfectly!

Lol, I see what he means, you're camera's quality makes the glow almost look like the spray can. You can tell it's not, but close haha.
