Tonight I should have free time to get working on the sets for Angel and SMG. Then we'll have to wait for the other leds to arrive.

Go back to the Aug. 30th post, where you said ... "I've looked at making a larger version, that one in the pic is just some glowing wire. When i install the new leds i'll play around a little bit with getting a large ring around the outside or a different spot if possible, if it works then i'll get those installed and get some pics for that as an option also. There's just two things that might give it a little bit of a problem, one being space (ofcourse), and two, if the leds i get aren't any brighter then i'm not sure if you could get a even light all the way around."

I haven't played around with that, but i do know that Aaron is looking into doing that when he gets back from europe, which should be next week, he's been asking some ?'s about the setup and what i had to do. If i have time tonight i'll see what if it will work, if not then we'll probably have to wait till he tries.

Are you going to have any green led's to put together so we can see them?

[jbarham]

Just wondering, but who's next in line? And so forth. Thanks a lot.

In the next order I have some green coming in, along with some red and blue leds.

The order i'll just go through the thread and start from the beginning.

As I make different colored sets I'll post pics of them, of atleast the rings, if I can I'll see about actually getting them on a car too. Yeah this week has been crazy, it was good to get if over lol.

Had some free time tonight so i was able to get some of the rings made for the angel eyes, still have to get the leds wired up before they're done. My orders on more leds have gone through finally, just waiting on them to show up at my door step.

Can't wait to get these, it'll make a fun winter project.

Theses can probably be made to replace the drl's but I don't know how to do it, I think you'd have to change some stuff on a relay to do that. At first i just tied them into my fog lights, but have since just wired them to a seperate switch. As for output there isn't much output in front of the car, they're just made to glow so that they're visible, not something you can drive with like headlights. I would also highly suggest a seperate switch if you get a colored set, since they aren't legal for road use.

You can always tell her it's a safety feature, that's what my dad used to do when he would buy stuff for his Crotch Rocket lol

How do they attach around the headlights and how much do you want for a set of white ones
