ok, I got bored (again), and I have been thinking about having blue dots on my car. I don't know why, but I wanted them. I had them on my old Foci, and I thought they might look good on theis one too....

here they are:

OFF:

Stealthy look......[]

ON:


Close shot:


Blue LED on steering column to remind me if they are on (So I don't get pulled over driving down the road with them on [thumb])


switch:



they are bright enough to see in the daytime...at night they should be BRIGHT []

just something else I thought would look cool.........I have yet to test their robustness at high speed [hihi]....

just did this about 25 min ago.

lemme know what ya think people....I know crazymatt will like 'em [thumb]

Looks good.

What I think would look better....
3-6 LEDs mounted behind the grille on each side, but facing toward the center, to make the grille have a soft glow.

Otherwise, I still do like the idea, post up some nite pics.

I Thought of that, but I actually wanted the little dots to show........this was what I was thinking, so that's what I did. [thumb]

those are bright, use white ones so you don't even have to turn on your head/fog lights [] looks great! MINI FOGS!!! lol

 

[HaveBlue83]

yeah, mini fogs out of LED's......nice thought.....[thumb]

 

[azdamay]

I'm not sure I understand what the point is? [scratch]

 

[BFocusSVT]

What is that on your grill lights, tint? I like that, it almost looks like clear lights.

 

[Foci_Fosho]

yeah, mini fogs out of LED's......nice thought.....[thumb]

PIAA actually makes that.

 

[HaveBlue83]

well, $7 was a LOT cheaper, and I got the desired effect that I wanted from the ones I used......




5% static-cling limo tint from Wal-Mart on the turn signals in the grille, I cut ot out and it "clings on"......[thumb]

It just looks shiney from the angle of the shot.

the point of this was to make my car more unique, and have fun installing something on my car on a nice day, that's all. Just wanted to show what I did, that's all.

 

[SkyPilot]

now make them work with your turning singnals!

 

[HaveBlue83]

^^^hehe, yeah. that would be cool, but not legal unfourtunately......

 

[HaveBlue83]

the camera made 'em look WAY bugger...but here they are:

I think you should scrap those LEDs and get some 3 Watt Luxeon LEDs...they will really light up the road!! www.candlepowerforums.com

 

[turbovation]

BUT..lemme just add that they look sick! [thumb]

 

[Shadowrunner]

get a two purple ones, not like bright purple, but kind of a "mixed in" purple (think red and blue flashin at the same time, and make it to where they alternate between left and right at 1 second intervals when you're going over, say, 50 []


sorry, i had to lol

 

[HaveBlue83]

BTW, they DO stay on at high speed (top of 4th gear [thumb]) [hihi]

 

[OrangeSVTguy]

you should also put them in the rear diffuser also [thumb]

 

[HaveBlue83]

^^^OMG, that would be GREAT for a tailgater at night!!!

"WTF?! fraking blue lights in my face?!"

maybe they would back off then [hihi]

 

[HaveBlue83]

here's a better representation:



PS, silverstars ROCK!!! (head and fogs [thumb])

 

[FULLBLOWN]

They are cool during the day, But they kinda remind me of the ricer LED wiper sprayers...
