Poll - LED Eyebrows for the Yaris - Vote Yea or Nay

[Violin]

Along with my HID retrofit, I'm toying with the idea of putting LED eybrows in for additional parking lamps - or even wired to come on all the time like DRLs. They'd look pretty much like this guy did with his tC. They'd go in the area I've sloppily highlighted in yellow (but they'd be white lights). I already made a set and they're pretty bright.

I don't want my car to look ricey. What do you folks think?

[hasher22]

thats a yes to me...cuz it looks soo fookin hot on the 1st car

though i dont know how it will blend with the yaris. Anyway try it out, be the 1st one in the world to do it. (Hopefully)

I was thinking of making Angel Eyes for the Hatch but dont know how that could look on de yaris.

These might help you visualize it better (subtract the red tape).

I'm not too sure how I feel about it...

I think it looks kinda like someone took some rope light and put it in their headlights (in the daytime shot); but in the darker pic it does look pretty hot.

edit: the pic did help, it seems that when they where off you wouldnt/could see or tell that you had them. But still in the daytime I dont think (according the the top post with the pic of installed) if the bulbs/leds are bright enough to have the light blend together to give you a solid light (where as in the case of say elwire... ) but they def will look hot imo at night/in the dark

Its really really hard to say. Its one of those things that u gotta see it in full action b 4 u decide if it looks good or not.

U said u already made it right? well why dont u take the next step and finish ur project, hit up the night shots and day time shots and everyone can decide then.

Looks good, how's the install? If you make them any rough ideas on a price point?

$1.97 for a mini-blind adjuster rod, two 60 cent 3mm leds, a 5 cent resistor and some wire/tape/shrink wrap.

I want to decide before I seal the headlamp back up.

Sweet then sell them for a killing on ebay!

[spkrman]

I'd say no... its kinda cheezy.

[KSIbucky]

just becareful with water damage

[KSIbucky]

also would you have a switch to turn them on and off or is is with the your headlights

and you should paint the whitish insert thingy black

it would be really cool to see a DIY for this

I like how it looks on the TC. I don't know how it would look on the Yaris though. I guess we need a guinea pig :P
What's that "tube" to put the leds on and where did you get it?
I'm trying to do some LED underdash lighting and those "holders" would come in really handy!

Looks good i say use it as the indicator. So the top part of the headlight assemble becomes high beam and the lower part is used for the hid kit. Only thing is you could so something like what he did for the orange side marker would be also good. That stock sidemarker would ruin the beauty is you go ahead with the project.

Here is how you make them: http://www.geocities.com/jvxdriver/eagle_eyes.htm or video version: http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...47339061120203

I used a rod that I found at Lowe's - it is shaped like a Star of David rather than hexagonal - I think it refracts better.

[ChinoCharles]

Thats a no brainer... do it. Then, tell us how you did it. You are going to have the nicest headlights on a Yaris in North America if you finish that projector setup and this.

[hasher22]

What would be crazy is make those lights orange and make them your blinker lights!! hahaha

now that i wanna see.....

[bigsky2]

Do it Violin.
