Default Teaser - Headlight Conversion

i thought i might share some pics with you guys of my current project. LED strip down the headlamp plus amber LED turn signal. i can't give too much away until i get the clear strips but i put the ambers back on just for the effect. hope you guys like em.

ummm lol, probably not. i didnt take any pics of the installation or modifications. but it requires alot of drilling, dremeling, epoxying, hot glueing, and test fitting.

you can probably check around on the internet for an LED cluster that is preassembled and wired for a 12vdc circuit. then mount it to the back of the housing.

i wont have any pics of them on the car until i get the clear strips in. the lights behind the amber strip are actually hyperwhite. i dont want amber on the front of the vehicle unless i am turning. once i get the clear strips in, i will put both of them on the car along with the new sidemarkers i've made and then take pics.

Clearcorners.com eat your heart out, huh?

Looking good.

Did you paint your entire housing black...reflectors and all? If so, do you have HID's?

I had mine painted black and the bottom reflector bubbled and cracked. I think the painter didn't let it cure long enough before installing. My headlights are being re-painted as I write this with 1200 degree black grill paint and 500 degree clear engine enamel. Hopefully that will do the trick.
