Default Anyone have LED eyebrows?

I am planning on lighting up the eyebrows on my headlights. I am thinking of either drilling holes for eyebrows or running cold cathodes through them. Any ideas or pics?

x2
I was also thinking abt it,
Im not sure if it would be better like that (white LED) for ddl or amber for blinkers.
if i went with amber i would like to have a switch to keep them on and or to use them as turning signals.

The guy that did my gauges has some in his eyebrow. I believe he has like 7 or 8 on each side. He just drilled holes and put them in. Eye want to do one on mine that looks almost like a flow of lights not just single LED's. There is a guy on here with $1300 headlights and I want to do the eyebrow like his and somebody said it may be a D36 but I have no idea what he was talking about. Does anybody else klbow what thnat is? If so can you PM me pics? Thanks

they sell some on ebay but almost everyone i've heard who has them has the LED eyebrows go out almost immediately. The CCFL halo's stay on though. if you build it yourself i'd say go with the CCFL. they last longer and are brighter.

I'm going to be getting the Anzo headlights which are the ones you are referring to. I'm going to be putting the stock eyelid inside of them to cover it the LED's that they have in there but I want to do something else to them that looks like the link posted earlier in the thread.

If you are talking about putting CCFL for the eyebrow how would I go abou doing that? Where would I find them? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

oznium.com sells straight tubes and halo's. theyre expensive and really fragile. go REAL SLOW. i'd buy two sets and sell the extra stuff. just in case. this way you won't have to wait for another shipment. i made this mistake.

So you were doing the eyebrow or the halos? I already did the Oznium halos. If they have a straight bar I don't think it's going to work because of the slight curve of the headlight.

i was thinking you can mount it behand the eybrow and it wouls light it up from behind. but you can't do it in front unless you get a flexible tube and stick line of LED's in.

theyre already pre-made at oznium.

I think the best way is is with LEDs inside the eyebrow if they are good quality and mounted correctly it should be fine
This is the best place I've seen, its been on other threads.
Who knows they might be able to do it if you ask them.

That is Sick!!!
Can you get them on indefinitely? or are they only blinkers? or both?
do you have night pics?
sorry to ask so many Questions but that is the closest thing I have seen to what I want to do.
Thanks!

Yours looks pretty cool but it's just not what I'm looking for. I'm looking for more of a flow of light instead of the strips like yours. I'll just have to go down to Oznium and look through the werehouse and see what will work.

Do you have any close up pics? Or maybe some at night?
