I read about that. I'm just scared about putting the headlights in the oven. Looks real good man!

No need to put them in the oven. ( I would never attempt something like that) These LEDs come in a tube with a flat side with 3m tape. Simply stick them to the bottom of the light and there they are. It was harder to find the needle nose plyers I dropped down inside the bumper than it was to install these.

Just don't put the temp too high you'll be good. I think 250 is the magic number.

IMO i dont like them i think the only headlights that should look like that are the audi's. ive seen them on everything since people started copying that style including a geo metro. but hey as long as you like them thats all that counts

I'm not a fan of that either lol.gif
Marc Letourneau
Thanks, It was a cheap mod so I figured what the hell. A few guys on the national forum did the same and I think it looked good.
These have a blue look too them, The camera doesn't do any justice to them.

Thinking about doing this with mine...i like how you had it come up on the inside..i looked at your link and it looks kinda lame just along the bottom

I like this but i'd rather have them come up on the grill-side of the headlight

Not anymore, I was going to buy a replacement for it because I fucked it up with a screw driver and now it works fine. Lol I was waiting for someone to spot that, Good eyes Neil.

i used a similar strip (was looking at yours when i got mine) for my reverse lights on the taillights i'm building.






Marc Letourneau
You are installing them inside the tail lights? That will look slick.
j trix 21
yes, the taillights are full LED. they do look pretty sweet when i test-fit them..

Make them yourself. Most of those premade projector headlights blow.

go read up on HID planet, but thats if you care about light output and the safety of others on the road.

TL's to flicker quite a bit (from bumps in the road and such) but their still not as bad as PnP crap in halogen housings
