I am thinking puddle lights? Teasing is wrong.

However, do I see a cool DIY in our future?

Our customers find that these LEDs are perfect for air vents, speaker grilles, headlights, taillights, domelights, door handles, door pockets, and even boats, trucks, and around the home. If there’s a power source and a need for bright light, the Oznium pre-wired LED is perfect for the job.

hopefully you are doing one of the things mentioned on their website

you're better off doing the puddle lights. If you want to do a small one, you can do your interior.





I wanted to do pillars for my sister's lexus but didn't want to waste my money on it if she doesn't appreciate it. i put in curtains for her but she hated it so i sold it. this is what the pillars would look like.

i'm not a big fan, looks way too aftermarket, i likes to keep things looking factory, the puddle lights if done right would be awesome though

are you planning on drilling out holes in your front bumper for every LED and running the wires behind it? i guess you could take out the turn signals and squeeze the LEDs under them and put the signals back in. hmm...

ever heard of water proofing. you can't just put LEDs on the exterior like that let alone the front bumper. good luck.

Please tell me this is a joke.... An HID kit with single LEDs... well any kind of LEDs for that matter?



To the OP, I don't think you should continue with this. I understand you are trying to do something custom and unique, but you should stick with one of the ideas that teekay gave, because the LEDs on the front bumper is just ridiculous. Maybe under door handle lights which is a real subtle thing that not a lot of people are going to have, so you can get that custom aspect you are going for. Or under the door puddle lights or something like that. If you want to do something custom to the fogs...err turn signals..., just clear them out and get some new bulbs. My .

the only way that could conceivably look good is if you had clear corners. Newer cars like Audi have LED parking lights. Check out pictures of the new Audi S6 as well as the new Audi R8. the Porsche 911 turbo also has new LED lighting. start there for ideas.

Yes.

It is so bad that I was thinking about it on the way home. Thinking that if I was a cop, I'd pull you over to give you an inspection ticket because they would have to be illegal on top of looking sooooo bad.
