I believe Nelson29 has a guy to do this for you in the Florida region.


you can always ship it out to NYC and I can take care of it for you. (of course you have to pay for shipping out and return)
I already PM'd on this one, however, tex_phil had an idea I already shot past you. A multi-colored that can switch back and forth to let's say the original color and white LED. Hey Tex, you know how to do that?

If you really wanted to get creative, you could get a multi color LED. Wire it up to a switch so you could change the color of the LED's from blue to red or whatever.
Yeah, just like he describes here . I'll be your guinea pig Nigxdoof

I did try to look into it. I couldn't find any multi color Pirahna LED's. (the one our headlights use).

I would only want to use OEM spec LED's. I'm sure I can wire up some random LEDS, but you never know how long they would last and if it blows, I would have to take it apart and put it back to OEM you know.

The other thing is, with multi color LEDs.. I have only seen them being blue/red/yellow. Never white / another color. So if you can find a multicolor Pirahna LED, then you can point me to it and I can try it.

If you can do multi-color LED with blue, red and yellow, then it'd be fun to drive around during the holiday season.

LCI's have different LEDs.

Unfortunately no. Its the same concept. I think I can easily do it for the LCI. I just need the right specs on the LED's.

If anyone wants to be a tester I can help them out. I just have to examine the headlight first and see if I can get the right LED's before.

I thought about buying a extra set of headlights and install Red LEDs and get Red Angel eyes. Then I can interchange them. White one week, red next week.

We should have a mini meet at night again with all the E60 with the Eugene eyebrow mod. Same location as the 1st time.
