both projects came out great.

 

Electrically & visually they are holding up perfectly

 

Looks really nice, why couldn't you have done this before we had the clearing weekend at my place?

Just kiddin

 

Dave those look very nice. Great job!

I know...I know Just bad timing, I reckon...

 

Okay... So basically since November '08 and this thread I've been compulsively trying to iron out an even better LED solution for my headlights. After much trial & error ...I believe I've struck pay-dirt . Whaddayathink?

What you are looking at here are 14 pattern-drilled points around the bottom half of the black plastic insert where it surrounds the HID. I had to wreck a couple inserts through trial & error (plastic insert is just too fragile on top half of the HID 'ring'). But in the process, I fine-tuned a 'template' for drilling this pattern. Patterned for a specific set of flexible strip silicone bright white LEDs purchased off eBay, I then pressed the LED strip into place...hole-by-hole...from the backside of the black insert. Wrapped it up with a bead of silicone to hold them in place. Yummy!

 

nice work. But it kinda makes the car look tired. lol

 

wow this was the exact thing i was going to say lol.

 

i think any work you do with these headlight LEDs will be greater appreciated if you refinished the headlight lens to make it clear like new again
