day lights?

by **castek** » Wed Apr 21, 2010 7:39 am

G'day,

i bought two led strips for fleabay and they finally arrived yesterday. thought i'd fit them up undearneath the headlight like a few newer cars have... what are your thoughts?

I will get HID's one day, hopefully soonish, funds permitting

not my cup of tea, i see too many ppl doing it these days (some worse than others) ....but great effort on the install

Looks ok
your leds seem a little small but hey maybe if thats what you were after...
are they mounted inside your headlight?

oh yeah huh, they look like they're on the outside? inside would look better....but a bitch to change if it ever needed to be changed!

Like the others said, good effort! Unfortunately the 'audi' style LED's on the headlights are a dime-a-dozen. Seems everyone's getting into the act.

Hmm, are those on the inside or on the outside? It looks a bit out of place if they are sitting on the outside, especially during day time. Also, are those the small LED's or the large SMD LED's? Do you have any dark shots? Would be curious how effecting the small LED's are and whether they are visible.

Not in my taste as digital said and also to many car companies are doing it now. but if you are happy that's all that matters

Incidentally if you havn't worked it out, click the pics for bigger.

I like those lights, but on an Audi. The HSV implementation of them is the ugliest IMHO.

Don't listen to anyone else, do what u wanna do

I reckon it could look good. I was thinking of doin the same, but with the LEDs on the top of the lights, so that when the hood is closed it looks like angry eyes. But then I got eyelids instead, hehehe

Yeah but he asked for our "thoughts" so we gave them to him!

Cursed logic!

i did ask for others thoughts, they are on and i like them.

i'll get a pic up tonight of them in the dark.

they actually put out more light than the led parker globe. they are placed underneath the headlight, you cant see the strip, but can see the lights.

i dont mind them, and yes a few cars are coming out with them now, but i havent seen many libs in my area with them

Details of the lights are:

Color: white
Voltage: 12V
Number of bulbs: 15 SMD LEDs

Looks good.

I will install it soon, someone from ebay also did an installation, pretty cheap though.

Maybe I want to put like yours, under the headlamp, since if it's upper, i think it won't look really good IMHO.

Will change my parker lights also+foglamp to be white.

Thanks

how did you go with the wiring?
could you post up a close up pic to show what they look like during the day time, how well they fit in under the headlight.

by **vp920b** » Wed Apr 21, 2010 10:27 pm

How do you install it actually? Do you need to open bumper first?

Thanks
