new blue LED strips in my headlights









I got the lights for 4.99 each with free shipping from ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...id=p2759.l1259

Also, I know these lights are illegal. I dont drive with them on in public. just private.

lemme know what you think, thanks!

you tinted your headlights...but not your driver's side window

Looks different but good...I think you need a different grille to pull it off

I had that problem, I just went to the Eye Doctor and now I am the proud owner for a prescription of Limo Tint. And yup it works.

damn! i read somewhere that california didnt allow that. I still dont like getting pulled over regardless of if I get out of it, but that's definitely something to look into. thanks!

I love the murdered out look. Looks like a stealth bomber in your cardomain page

Not sure how I feel about the LEDs. Honestly. They should have left them on the Audis and now every one is doing them. I don't like them on any car, really. It's just the design of the housing that's not so friendly to cramming LEDs in there.

thanks! Yeah the pictures really don't do it justice. it looks sweeet at night. I stopped at 3 gas stations last night looking for an ATM and someone at each gas station told me how sick they looked and asked how I did it. One guy was like "is that... no it cant be... is that a nissan??"

Damn that thing is murdered out. I like the design of the lights though. Too much tint on them for my taste, but looks good.

yeah here's a pic before i painted the grill. http://carphotos.cardomain.com/ride_...0018_large.jpg I know you probably mean painting the grill black and leaving the emblem, but it just doesnt look right blacking everything out and then leaving a spec of chrome.

I hope those LEDs dont burn out too quickly b/c I know opening up the headlights is a *****...a lot of my friends who did similar mods had a few of the LEDs burn out in a few months and then it the strip just looked odd.

yeah that'd suck, i can put new ones in if i had to though. i barely ever run them so im hoping they'll be good for a while. and they look cool even when off. You cant tell they are lights. I'll post some better pics and maybe a video tomorrow.
