Retrofit experiment... test subjects needed

I'm toying around with with some new material to retrofit some angel/demon eyes on some tC headlight assemblies. I don't have any spare assemblies to experiment on just yet (so far my junkyard search has been fruitless). Anyone want to ship a set (or single) assembly to me in exchange for a hopefully kick ___ set of Halos/Angel eyes (see example in the pic below of two materials I used on my other ride)...

Search on ebay. Key words are "tc headlights" or "tc headlamp". I saw a couple on there.

Good luck

Good question. It looks like maybe EL wire.

Lucite composite and LEDs. Is that like the old mini-blind adjuster rod thingy trick?

I've used adjuster rods before, just trying out some new material that heats and bends much better, thanks.

I'm doing hyperwhite for my car, however it really doesn't matter the color any color LED will work.. Though I'll be working with a high MCD rating LED to get the proper diffusion
