Nope

These are pure while but might have a red ring around

Not sure if I can do it and how it would be but that was the idea.

I always wanted the brightest and hence went with the while, though the RGB control on the multi color might produce a white- The while will not be as bright as the bulb whoes sole job is to produce only white -- If you know what I mean.

Just cut open light number 2 -- Here I would try to take as many pictures as possible

Wish me luck --- I still have a long way to go

No offense but I dont think having 2 sets of angel eyes on top of each other will look good at all...

Actually this depends on the color. For one of the install we've done, Black Dove's, it was done this way. When his Orions are switched to red, it looks insane with a white outline around it.

Ahh, I didn't realize you wanted to do that.. interesting take on it.

Take a look at my post how its mounted. I also took out the logo's with a dremel. looks so much nicer.

I cut into the the led and the eyebrow section by a little bit with the DREMEL in an attempt to cut open the headlight. After I cut open the headlight I find all these silly bits of plastic in the eyebrow section.
I rinsed most of it out but stuff still in there. The best way to get it out is to hack into the eyebrow but I dont want to do it till it is really required.

Got rid of 70% of the deposits - Will continue to rise = Since they are LED's water wont bother them. And after I am done with the rinsing cant light the stuff up till I am sure every bit of vapour is out of it.


Lets see how it goes - Just wish I dont have to cut into the eyebrow part.

Thanks for the Support Phil -- Its 1:30am out here -- Thinking of going to walmart to get a sand paper to smoothen the plastic since I am ready to seal one of the headlights.

Hmmm... what are u using to rinse? Those do short if water is in there and condensation happens.

Damn, how did you cut that section? its a pain to clean, i tell you that much. I've never gone that far into the eyebrow when I did my eyebrow mods, I only went into the section of the LEDS / eyebrows. Sorry, but there's no easy way to clean it / or real way to clean inside there without gutting it.
