headlight: its whats for dinner
flip.
A old damaged headlight from another incident was baked open, and I painted the housing.
I used Randode's LED controller to control the LED's -- only one ground worked because I fired it (oops) but i'll fix it soon.

My install job kinda sucked... I did find white Silicone but the bottle broke along the seal at the bottom, so I had to apply with a knife.
(notice how when i drilled -- i knicked the ring along the headlight? Yup.... time to find some angel eyes.)
My wiring goes along the bumper area, (where the styrofoam is) You can't see it in the above picture (because its before I wired it up properly) but the controller is ziptied under the DR side headlight, on the bumper base. I'll be sure to take pics when I put the next controller/finish the middle LED's though...

I wanted to use superflux LEDs, since I like them so much :) It's hard to find places to drill with such big lights... Just be careful, because once you bake em, you need to keep in mind where the black housing goes in relation to the reflector housing and lens.... |
