so just bought some inexpensive led light strips.. blue for the front red for rear lights

let me know if you think it looks good or too ricey???

 

Behind the lens - marginally acceptable.

Outside the lens - ricey.

Though they look like they will match the rest of your car well......


S

 

I need a pic from a distance of it

 

it looks very added on. it just stands out too much for me on the headlight because of the different colors. if they are inside the lens it would be better

 

sorry, looks very very very ricey to me.

especially in the day time.

 

outside of the lens... that is just plain cheap. sorry.

 

not even ricey. just retarded. i thought the front of my car looked like a christmas tree

 

that lights will stay there for a few days

 

yeah good for a few days if on the outside.....

 

In most states it is illegal to have blue lights facing forward on anything but a police, fire, or paramedic vehicle.

 

props for trying something different...I think the front would look better if they were white or "hyper" white not blue....where did you purchase them and how are they attached?? with the rears maybe you could get them under the tail casing so that they look more flush....

 

Looks like eyebrows, and maybe good for chistmas... I think it'll look better on the bottom with white leds like the audi. (inside the housing)

Theres all kinds of sticky led strips on ebay, and I know they dont last long, so it'll be a waste of time fitting it inside the housing...

Theres a company called orcal or something that makes halo lights, they got a nice led strip in amber for a dodge magnum, maybe retro fit that in it'll look awsome, but then again they cost a fortune, (to me)

 

Yeah the rear does not look bad but the blue's on the front are toooo blue...and like someone above said alot of states you cannot have any blue white or red lights on the outside of your car(except tail lights) I guess no accessory lights.....supposedly you are able to b mistaken for a cop

 

just one step closer to being a ricer Civic.

 

 

No...

 

And another major fail by italianman1987.

 

Roger Wilco.

 

I think you need some photography lessons.

 

and some lessons in custom lighting. bestow upon him your infinite wisdom. for he obviously has none haha

 

Agreed.

 

 

White on front might look a tad better, maybe something remotely like the Audi, but those led strips I've seen at the local Pep Boys aside from being so obvious, when you place them like you have...don't they just point up...not forward? That must not be so goo from front view rather than the on-top views you show??

But the back is just wrong... and overall it makes an 8 dangerously close to becoming a ricer Civic in looks...and definitely a big downgrade in class. Sorry...

 

ok i removed them i got the message... just wanted to see what it would look like.. kinda wanted the audi look but ye should have tried atleast the white ones.. oh well ill use them in my pool i guess..

 

you should get green, white, and red ones. it'll let everyone know you're italian.
