Default Headlights

apbbnbanb_07 I had a quick question for you. How did you do the LED headlights because I think this is where I am going to start. If you don't want to type up some instructions maybe you could lead me to the source you used? And where did you get the LEDs. I am very mechanically inclined but somewhat of a noobie when it comes to car upgrades, but i am looking to change that .

Virgin1 has done the same thing. I just bought some thin LED strip lighting on eBay, they come with self adhesive, but I put foam under mine to get the angle to shine better through the gap between the light and hood. The power source I used was from somewhere that none of us are really sure what it is for. It comes on with the ignition and has a timed off, the the time is always sparatic and usually coincides with how long the vehicle is driven for. Virg posted a pic of it once but can't remember where.

Nope. (<<< See what I did there. )
But as you said, Alex it seems to be time AND temperature related because they don't stay on as long when its colder outside or when you've only driven short distances???
