Default My new HID, LED headlights and Tail light set up

Finally finished up my HID and LED blinker headlights along with my tinted tails. The tails are not that dark which is what i was going for but i think they blend in real nice with the flint mica. I did replace all the lights in the tail with LED bulbs and i just replaced the third tail light with the Meng Motorsports full LED third tail and tinted it flat black but dont have any pictures of that. The head lights and fogs are both 8000k and I made the blinker a parking light and a LED bulb as well as the other parking light is now an LED bulb. I also made a custom eyebrow LED blinker. In the pics the blinkers are on. The LED bar is not a running light but strictly a blinker.... Looks nice and I am happy with it. Enjoy the pics....

Once all the parts came in it took a weekend for the head lights. Baked them apart and installed all the LEDs in it saturday and then sunday put it all in the car. Really was not too bad just took all my patience that weekend and all my time. Needless to say the rest of the week was spent making it up to the gf lol...

Nice Job. How did you get the LED's to work in the tail lights without blowing a fuse?

I just used the correct bulbs that matched up from www.superbrightleds.com. Had to put a resistor in line with them to stop the hyper flash and that was it. I shopped around for the LED bar for the blinkers and was originally going to go with the flexible strips from [IMG]file:///C:/Users/Kids/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot.jpg[/IMG] www.oznium.com but the reviews about the strips were not that great saying that they burn out fairly quickly and the brightness was not all that great. Also I wanted an LED strip that had bulbs that were closer together so they looked more like a rope up close instead of individual bulbs. It was pretty pricey in comparision to the oznium ones but IMO well worth it for the quality and desired effect. I bought them off of www.radiantz.com. I used the flexible LED strip with 65 bulbs in it. Best choice IMO.
