Halo In Headlights

[Crolero]

Well this weekend im going to clear my corners and since the headlights are going to be open i was thinking about doing the Anabera mod with the halo's around the headlights. But only in the space for the brights, not gonna put a projector so i wont put one by the regular lights. Any thougts on how it might look?

looks like ive got a lot of work this weekend. thanks a bunch grouch. :thumbsup:

[blackalero99]

ok thats hot. :) Were did you get them? order them from?

[Grouch]

you can't. They are self made. Though there might be a few on here you might be able to pay to make you a set.

[Crolero]

grouch you by any chance have more pics, or a website? trying to get a few questions answerd.

[Grouch]

no. Shoot a PM or EM to '04 aler-ho it's his car. Here's his webpage (http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=2133862531) though.

Edit, and I see Ander is browsing the thread now, I think he was working on something like this too weren't you? If so you might be able to buy them from him down the road.

[Crolero]

yea i was thinking about getting them from Ander but when i calculated the shipping cost and time it just didnt make sence. i hope i can do a good job as these guys did.

yeah ive been making the projectors and halos.....otherwise if you just wanted the halo rings, i can send you the rings....did that for eh-nigma... they are already shaped...you just gotta drill 2 holes for them in the headlight and mount the LEDs.... $25 a set/shipped

just a Q, how did you mount the rings in the headlights?

[AnderbrA]

mine are mounted on the projector.....to do it w/o the projector you would have to drill 2 holes in the reflective asseembly to mount them.

['04 aler-ho]

yeah those are made. honestly anders look a lot better. he used actual round acrylic and i used a rod from mini blinds. you cant tell. but its the fact that i know.

[Crolero]

another Q for the smart guys, where did you guys get the voltage to run the LED's?

[Screamin eagle]

I'm gonna use the juice from my parking lamps in the front. Just make sure you don't get the wire that flashes with the turn signal or you will have flashing halos.

[Crolero]

ive got 3V LED's wouldnt that fry the LED?

[Cyber Knight]

Yep, so you'll need resistors or 4 LEDs wired in series. More info on that here LED calculator. (http://linear1.org/ckts/led.php)

[Crolero]

^ so i wouldnt need any reasistors if i connect all 4 led's to the + and - terminals of the 9006 headlight terminal?

['04 aler-ho]

if anyone is interested i can install halos paint the bezels any color and clear them for 125

as long as they are 3v LEDS and you wire them in a series.

[FormulaNERD]

hey anderbra, wanna do a how-to on the difference between leds in series and leds in parallel?

[AnderbrA]

SERIES: + ---> - ---> + ---> -

PARALLEL:
+ ---> +

- ---> -

this might be a little easier to read...
