I don't see why someone would want an LED strip in their headlights. That IMO will totally take away from the look of the lights. If someone wanted a turn signal, I would get Halo's and wire those so they flash when signalling.

New 55w HID kits came in. Here's a comparison shot of the 4300K 55w kit (left) vs the 6000K 35w kit (right):

^ From my experience 6K are pretty blue, especially in a projector lens. If you look at some cars that dont even have HID's but are projectrs from far away you see blue, but then as they get closer they turn yellow. Personally I will be going with 4300 or 5000. They are alot brighter/whiter but still have a tint of blue to them.

'Nother question -will the Halo's that you will be offering be, in your opinion, bright enough to be used as DRL's? (Be easily seen in bright sunlight)

For people to really get a sense for how blue those 6000k are, don't point 'em at a white garage door. Point 'em at the pavement. The blacktop sucks up that 6000k output.

small update:
I've finished pouring the bondo into the molds and sanded down the molds to their final shape. I was going to leave it like that but felt the bondo wouldn't hold up well to repeated thermoforming. I layed a sheet of woven fiberglass mat over the entire mold to make sure it can withstand repeated molding.
No pics this time....but it's beginning to look a lot like christmas....in the shop

I may have to take you up on the idea of doing hydrocarbon on the shrouds. Might look pretty dang nifty against the EB paint! Oh, decisions, decisions!!Steve

I'm going to have my manufacturer build 5 sets for the first "feeler" production run. 4 will go to the people in the spot saver program and 1 set will go to some lucky local who will get a free install so i can take pictures for the install guide.
Any volunteers??
