Modded Headlights

These are my modded headlights and they look awsome. Looking at them in person is the only way to justify how good it looks. I saw the little bead of lights in the Audi R8 and I said I gotta have them. The led strip is hooked up to the fog-light connector, but I might connect it seperatly so they can go on without the headlights. The lights are also tined and have eyelids. Just finished putting everything togethor last night while it started snowing, and I also just discovered that the 8 really sucks in the snow.

need to make the pics a little bigger, their kinda hard to see, but they look nice, i cant tell from the pics but do they light up blue? I think they look nice, they arent to big that they fill up the headlight, but at the same time they compliment your car nicely

Not bad. Best execution so far. I would have gone with white LEDS.

actually nvrfalter I can see fine at night. But if I had an HID with a hint of color in it, then it would be a different story.

headlights will definitely not fit. theyre a totally different shape. youre talking about taillights.

btw, nothing wrong with big eyelids. i like urs gato. i just felt like the straight line style that OP has isnt as effective with that much of the headlight covered. just personal preference.
