ues it is fully Areobatic. It does not have inverted fuel or oil system due to weight of those systems. But positive loops and rolls no issues.

I wanted to follow up with the daytime brightness of the LEDs. Depending on how you are located in elevation and off center in relationship to the front of the car changes your perspective of the brightness, I think due to the LEDs are set back in the housing and use reflectors to project their light out.

This is daytime at 7 pm my driveway is sloped and I took one pic today car pointing down.

Exactly! Why I took all the pics from dif angles.

It had had to be how the LEDs are mounted “setback” because the angle changes the intensity.

it was running I switched the Demon Eyes to a different color. At normal key on, they turn on white.
At nught time they are more visible. I turned them to a dark red color to see if they would show up on the picture.

So I watched this video on YouTube about the depo headlights and looks like I can still use the up and down AFS motor... The depo headlight projector mount has the same ball and socket mounting that the factory AFS motor has... so looks like I'm going to try to use the motor... going to start on these tomorrow since I got everything to complete the Mini D2S projector retrofit and the new 350mw LED drivers... Now it looks like I have to go back to the drawing board about how to use the factory tilt motors...

To use the up down leveling, need to trick the system into thinking side swivel motors are still there. Else place black tape over AFS light.

can repin the depo harness or try to use stock harness. I posted pin outs a few pages back.

Well, I just followed a link to the headlights because I was going to finally make my purchase and get them retrofitted and now the price is $1100 CAD? ($899 USD) Seriously? They're halogens for god sake. At this price range, I'm probably better off getting actual OEM ones. Please tell me someone has a link to them with the original price of $400-$500 or whatever it was.

This is the ad I'm referring to: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/2006-2010-Le...haY8EA&vxp=mtr
