Here they are, Im rather satisfied with how it came out. I only wish the Halo's were CCFL and not ghetto LED lit plastic.
All in all Im much happier

nice headlights! i like the side emitting leds. i have them but didn't decide on location yet :smile:. did you put it under the headlights or in the headlight housing?

well they cant go in the housing seeing as how the adhesive strip is on the back side and the leds on the front.
Ozniums SELED's are water proof weatherproof etc and are really tiny and black making them perfect for the black projectors.
I just adhered them to the outer housing after having clean it with 91% isopropyl alcohol.
Getting them to power on was a pain seeing as how I took power from the parking lights and I had to ground somewhere else.

Looks awesome. For the halos, EL Wire would have been a better solution than CCFL. It is flexible, so you could have bent it to fit the circle.
ELwirepros has an automotive halo EL wire power supply for $4.50.

You couldn't just take the ground from the parking light ground?

that looks like a really good idea and i may even be able to slide that stuff in there without opening up the headlights but idk.
maybe some day.

for some reason that ground wouldnt work...it was boggling me for like 30 minutes. I thought maybe my quick connect was splicing correctly or something.

For the lights the ground side is switched, so the parking light ground is only connected to ground when the parking lights are switched on.

yea i know and even when i turned the lights on the strip still wouldnt turn on.
The effect is still the same though, I grounded to some random bolt and grabbed power from the parking lights and they only come on with parking lights still so it all works out.
