Any interest in a LED Strip Group Buy.*pics update*9-17
I'm trying to gauge interest in a new 100 led strip per 12"
At the moment, they only offer these in Amber and Red. They are coming out w/ a white 99 led strip soon.
The strip can be cut down every 5 leds to fit anywhere and then those cut pieces can be soldered into another strip. They come w/ 19" of "D" housing to aid in the mounting process.
The bad news, at the moment they are $60 each. Hopefully, w/ enough interest we can get that price down.
Here's a quick mount I did to my 04 lights. No cutting required for this mount.
Head light is still open, so if someone wants to see what it could look like mounted in a different position, let me know, and I'll take some pics.
I also, have an opened 07 headlight, so let me know where you might want to see it on there also.
There is also the option of adding a dual circuit, to make them light dim, bright, dim, bright, when the turn signal comes on.

I've been looking for those individually or in a strip. Haven't found em yet. They're pretty large for led's maybe 20 to 40mm. The largest I've found are 10mm square individual ones.
Also, the size of the Audi ones would probably block out alot of the headlight.

that looks awesome, I'd hate to open my lights as I have a huge amt of moisture in the drivers side from installing HID's... and somehow I will totally eff it up.

Blue will get you noticed for sure. Especially the cops.
They don't like blue on the outside of the car.
If you just want them for car shows/ meets I can ask if they would do a blue.

i would be in.....2008 Maxima SL here so you think it would be ok for me...i would put the strip where you got it but instead be white....is it possible i could keep it connected through a running day light? is that how you got yours' set up? or comes on when you turn the headlights on.
#14
im in for the Led strips, but i just baked my lights, i really dont want to go thru the process again. Maybe an outer led strip? somewhere on the lower front bumper maybe?

Once you do the bake once, it should only take about an hour to open em back up. However, these leds have 3m double sided tape on the back to mount to the front of the light, and you could tuck the wires under the bumper. But, they could easily be stolen also, if someone knew what they were and just ripped them off.

Thanks for the bump of this post.
I forgot to show an updated pic of it actually installed. I didn't use the weatherproof tubing that comes with it. Just installed w/ double sided tape and sandwiched between headlight outer lens and interior housing.
Btw, the upper light is just our standard led switchback w/o the reflector and its housing blacked out. Here's a short video to show the optional dual circuit. Makes it blink bright, dull, bright, dull.

I hope to have this finallized tonight, for sure before the end of the weekend.
What I do know at the time, is the 12" strip pictured only comes in 100 count leds in Amber and Red w/ 1mm spacing in the near future, but they do have a white strip available in 60count w/ 3mm spacing right now and is supposed to be brighter, because of its white color. I'll have more info in the next couple days.

**19" clear tube does not need to be used if placed inside of headlight housing. Tube is only used for exterior installations to provide waterproof housing to the led strip.**
*Can be made into 20 separate LED arrays-
This can cut every 5 LEDs and solder pads are on the back to attaches wire.

These flexible strips are capable from flexing front to back, not left to right. (when looking directly at the light source)
Pricing is per strip. One strip will only modify one headlight. Order accordingly.
If you are interested in other colors for your lighting, there is a 7 color switchable led lighting solution available. PM me for more information
At the moment, I only have an example for the amber strip placed inside an '04 Maxima headlight. In a weeks time, I will have an example of the white strip situated into the new GTR Prototype front bumper.

I hope to have pics of the 60 ct white leds this next weekend set into my new gtr concept bumper as an external light source to show the possibilities of these leds without having to place them behind the "glass" of the headlights.
More to come.....
