New Project
 

idk if anyone has done it or not, but i just ordered the strip leds i need to do this..

i am making audi R8 inspired led headlights, like the strip led that goes along the bottom,,

while i install those i am also putting in bright white leds in the corner bulb and big amber one.. the led strip will be wired into the big bulb to be on all the time and with the turn signal flash...

i will also be painting a litle more of the headlight bezel, and the led strips are black so they will be hidden nicely not standing out...

what you guys think? i will have pics up as i do it...

oh and HID foglight kit to match the low beams is on the way for christmas ;)

if ya do it right it will look cool i think

post some mock pics (photoshop) or drawing. I know what your talking about but sometimes seeing the final product may help in determining if its the look you want.

on the surface i would say hell yea, I like that look, but I think those LEDs are larger like maybe the size of a 194?

are you refering to the led strips? cause they are smooth to the touch the bulbs dont stick out and they are bright as hell...and the corner is a 194 and the amber one is getting a 25 led bulb from superbright led.com you can go on and look at them

no I mean the strip on the audis, they are like only 6 or 7 LEDs but i guess they are larger then a normal sized LED, or are they clusters of several?

i think they just stick out... theses arent meant to be replica just inspired by...

the led strip will go across the whole bottomof the bezel or at least most of it...

those along with the HID and LED lights the strip will look in place.. worste case it doesnt work i un do it no biggy... i think it will look good

it wont be hard either maybe 2 hours not including dry time.. i have had them apart before if you notice my profile pic the corners are clear lol

and im removing the front plate and braket so it will look even cleaner

I definitely want to see pics when your done cause I think it would look good.

they will get done within a day or two after i recieve the leds... i ordered them today

cant wait to see what it turns out like....I think even if you fail I think pics would be nice, and that way maybe someone can give advice or tweak to make it work better, before you undo and scrap it

i will not fail..... lol
as soon as the stuff gets here i start , i will post up pics as i go

lol ok, i meant that in the most positive way with utmost faith in you, but as in, in case, lol

lol its cooll i have my doubts too... i think i will run them with a bypass switch tho so if i want i can have them not on with the headlights so they wont be automatic always

Glad to see someone else doing this, i was looking into trying this.

^ x2. been looking into it for a while

Also, once you get them installed, play around with them for a look that would suit it best. Like, if they don't look right on the bottom try them on the top.

well im hoping i get the led strips soon!!! the shipping says 7 to 10 buisness days, i cant wait to get to try it i have been thinking about it for a while now...

on the 99 the big amber bulb is always on and constantly having power correct?

been wanting to do this too. just wasn't sure how it would look.

I can't wait to see them

good luck with the project.. I have been thinking of doing stuff like the audi for a while now actually..

well looks like im gona pioneer the idea lol.... hope it looks decent...

anyone know if the big amber bulb is always on when the car is whether the headlights are on or not?
