I contemplated whether or not to start a thread about this already since I only placed my order for the parts today.

But I am too excited!

Basically I am reviving the old idea I had when I did my headlights last year that did not work out. The parts that I ordered today should!

I personally think this is going to look f'ing awesome, and can't wait to work on it! Although I am not that keen on having to re-open my headlights for the 4th time, but oh well. Gotta do what I gotta do!

With that said, can anyone guess which idea I am resurrecting?

Illuminated fins?

Yes sir!

I am not happy about how much the parts cost, and realistically I imagine there will be very few willing to spend the money to do this mod... but I guess that's what will make this so exclusive :hyper:

Is this going to feature the same lighting tech used in umichchris' door handle lights ? Just curious as to what brought about this resurrection

No sir. The LED's Chris used are the 5050 SMD strips. This is ultra thin 0.2" LEDs that are tightly packed plcc2s that should work perfectly in this application.

The resurrection is largely due to luck, lol. I was browsing and researching today and came across this product.

I suppose the price will have to be known anyway, but parts alone is $320 :bash:

So... definitely a mod for people that's more serious about doing the headlights.

Thanks bud! You guys that are on FB with me will probably see it first :cool:

Subscribed :thumbsup: , I can't wait to see how the final product comes out

yea 320 is a lot. if its what you want do it. though blacking out that section did dull the lighting significantly.

Personally, me too, hahaha.

If it gets shipped out tomorrow, there's a chance I may receive it by Saturday. Otherwise, I'll be getting it earlier next week.

Like I said, I am not looking forward to re-sealing these babies, but gosh darnit, if I can pimp these headlights out even more, I'm doing it!

see what happens when you go to autocon... you get an itch that no doctor can cure.
