I just got rid of my other set of headlights so the new set is being created. There's a new innovation in this set of lights that I don't think anyone has done before. See if you can spot what it is Maybe this will spark a new trend for all of you retrofitters out there.





























Ok, i'll give you a hint
And yes...I'm thinking of putting some HID's in for my blinkers...heh.

Wow, projectors in the blinkers? Very interesting. If you do make your signals HID, won't your ballasts die pretty quickly? Cool project.

Seems to be cool idea, but this also crossed my mind.

It does take a few seconds for the HID's to warm up and reach operating temperature, so this means HID's in the blinkers would never warm up as they have to flash on and fairly quickly........

Would like to see how you are addressing that.
