Headlight Idea

[Munky]

For those of you watching the superbowl, you saw the commercial for the new Audi. I'm not big on that car, but the headlights look AMAZING.

I want to do something like this to my headlights, how hard do you think it would be?

[KeWLKaT]

ewwws?

[Munky]

ewwws?

If you don't like it, don't reply. ;)

Well I'm giving you my opinion - that's what discussion forums are for ;)

And you know I still love you. i just think that wouldn't look good on our car (not that it looks good on the audi anyways). I guess you could just make a FG enclosure for the LEDS and run them however you want...

Yeah, but when do I get a chance to give you crap?

I don't know, I think it would look great. I've heard people tell me angel eyes would look retarded, until I put them in. That changed their mind real quick. But then the damn things burned out after a month.

I want something that's different, something that sets me out from the rest, and I'm a sucker for a cool project.

[KeWLKaT]

You can give me crap anytime you want man I'm here for that, haha.

What exactly do you want? A funky curve like that, or just something that follows the bottom line of the headlight?

Nah, I don't think the curve would look good on our headlights, I just want accent lighting similar to that. I'd have to take a close look and see where I could do it.

those audi headlights dont look nearly as good in person as they do in print.

Plus, you're big ugly bra would be a total distraction to them :)

Why you gotta break balls, man? :hammer:

[slyderdai]

I think it would look good if they were amber colored and worked as running lights /turn signals. Your pretty good with photchopping draw it up there and see for yourself.

And I thought you are getting the front end fixed soon?

By the way Football sucks donkey D!cks. I don't even watch "for the commercials"

Looks like LED rope light that you see on houses around the holidays...

[CRAZIECRACKER]

i was just going to say that...

its LED rope lighting...go to spencers gifts or target for $20...run them through your headlights and tape off what you dont want to see?? lol

i agree with majority...prolly wouldnt look good, but everyone has a different view toward theyre cars, or else wed all have the same **** and there wouldnt be a need for elantraxd

[Doohickie]

Hey Munky.... I bet if you get those you'll win COTM for SURE!

(Also, cleaning your engine bay couldn't hurt...)

[ilanpro]

Looks Awesome

LED + projectors + clean engine = COTM

I like the headlights of this Lexus:

[Pete03GLS]

that light beam doesnt seem very focused... seems kinda weak too... :/ but the 3 projector headlights do look nice.

Man, ain't that the truth! I haven't cleaned the engine bay since I got the car..I'm horrible, I know.

[AtlXD2]

those three projectors are actual LEDs. if I'm not mistaken, its the first car here in the US to have LED headlights.

[Pete03GLS]

oh, well, from that picture atleast, it looks like theyve got lots of work ahead.

[darrelltac]

I think the lights would look good on our cars!

[04 elantra cvvt]

Give it a shot Cory. If it doesn't work out, then there's nothing lost. But, if it looks good, the crow will be served. :)

[2003GT]

I saw one of these the other day. I was like SH!T.

[midget]

i say put it in. im not sure how it would look but you can alwys take it out if you dont like it.

[Matrixloader]

it may not look that good with no other mods in the exterior. kinda like a civic with projectors that have leds on top but everything else looking plane.

do a photoshop first.

[darkboricua]

saw this at HIN orlando a few weeks back..thought it might help to inspire you....:abovelol:

[NY2002ElantraGT]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

what kind of car is that?

[darkboricua]

its a 350z...sick though huh?

[Munky]

I like that, but I would go with white, not blue. Blue attracts more (unwanted) attention.

[silversharkXD2]

in pa, you cant have blue lights atall, or red ones. its against the law because it resembles law enforcement lighting

[Munky]

^Yeah, the laws here are similar. You can't have any front-facing lights that are colored blue/red/green. (Colors used by volunteer police/fire/EMT)

They're okay anywhere else on the car, as long as drivers in front of you can't see it in their rear-view mirror.

[SuperGLS]

It doesn't look bad on that 350Z.

[Munky]

Well, I'll be doing a projector retrofit soon, I'll be able to play around with some ideas.

[SilverElantra]

keep us updated.

[SuperGLS]

The 2009 A4 has similar LED lighting in the housing like the R8.
