Looks good man! So these are on whenever you have running/headlights on? Is it distracting at all while driving at night?

Jedi54 06-24-2008 01:47 PM

Not sure they're bright enough but they look pretty good

Socket7 06-24-2008 01:54 PM

I like them, but I'd try and hide the light sources better. visible light sources like that are a bit tacky in my book, but thats nothing that can't be fixed. I rate it an A- overall.

^^ YUP, go for the stealth look

Not trying to hijack the thread, just showing how you can get the same effect without having the light source visible.

yeh i understand. i am going for the stealth look i am not done with the install yet. i wanted some opinions. they do run whenever the headlight or parking lights are on theyre not distracting at night but it is hard to see out of the mirrors when the windows are up due to the glare from the blue lights.

you need new floor mats Jedi

Jedi54 06-24-2008 03:44 PM

those are only a few months old. I think you're seeing a shadow from the pedals.

laythor 06-24-2008 03:46 PM

i'm looking at the passenger side. i'm suprised your jedi mind powers didnt know that...

Jedi54 06-24-2008 03:48 PM

they're just kind of wrinkled from the tiny box they get shipped in.

I had been debating doing this in red (my light "theme"). However isn't it illegal to go any color other than orange?

Take care,

Brian

Kinda depends on your state........Ohio................not sure. For the most part, those side markers are supposed to be yellow, but I have white V-LED's in mine, which give off a faint blueish hue. I have the same in my parking lights and they match my H11 HOEN fogs and normal headlights fairly well.

what did you use for your footwell lights?

Jedi54 06-25-2008 03:08 PM

Rotary Rasp Custom LED Footwell lights <---- click
Group Buy ended a while back and I'm not sure if he's still making / selling them since he was importing the LED's in bulk.
Try shooting him a PM.

laythor 06-25-2008 04:33 PM

I have a few of the RR kits (footwell lights, trunk lights, sunroof module) all are top notch.



For the person who put blue in the sidemarkers.. that's just a ticket waiting to happen.

Razz1 06-25-2008 09:21 PM

These are nice.

04wb8 06-25-2008 11:33 PM

Much better! Are those corner lights blue? that could get you a ticket pretty quick.

04wb8 06-28-2008 11:53 PM

thanks. and yeah they are blue i just wanted to take a picture than i switched them back to amber. i might order white ones for the sidemarker light and blue for the parking lights but that might be inpersonating a police so i might just go with white parking lights as well. let me know what you think

laythor 06-29-2008 12:46 AM

led or stealth bulb amber in the side markers... hyper white led in the parking lights.

Fortunate Few 06-29-2008 01:51 AM
