This mod, at least the implementation of it, wouldn't be suitable for pre-LCI headlights. Could get creative and make it work though, but think this is going to look a lot better on LCI's.

With that said, $320 is just for the 64" of LEDs. I anticipate some cutting, wiring, and soldering to be involved. So at the end of the day, with labor, this mod (minus the fee of cutting headlights open and seal), will probably be done by a select few. And few might even be an overstatement.

Although... there are two people that I have spoke to on the phone that are looking forward to it. So stay tuned!

Haha. This was actually an old project of mine from last year. It just never quite made it due to no suitable parts to accomplish what I was looking to do.

Man, you are a tru innovator. :clap: Please photo-document the process along the way. ...Not saying, reveal any tricks of the trade, but its cool and inspiring for us to see it all come together!

Good Luck!

Although it will suck having to seal the lights again and risking condensation. 2 positive thoughts come to mind about reopening your lights, a. while you work on your fins you can implement your opaque orions to the mix. B. Or you can wait for the Orion v4s then crack em open and work on your fins.

That is true. I was actually thinking about this earlier.

I've been excited about this project since you first posted those teaser imagines however long ago. Can't wait to see how it looks!

To be honest, I am not entirely sure myself. Being that these will be very densely packed PLCC2 SMD's, I would imagine the only time you would be able to see the tiny gaps between the LEDs are you when you are upclose.

However, there is something that I would have to try to solve when I do get the product and install is the yellow phosphorous coating. On top of my head, I believe it would be hard to hide the look of it when it's off. But we'll see, maybe it will be such a slight detail that I don't care about it once I have it on.
