hope he does not mind

 

they look way too small. i think they belong and should stay on a BMW. its sorta like the altezza lights on the IS that everyone is stealing. its soo played out its nasty now.

 

i was thinking they would be for the older GS model w/ the projector headlights.

 

BananaGS: Nope, don't mind at all...just hate seeing how noticeable the paint chips are on my GS

 

lol

 

Globe, is that the Wise front bumper??

 

from my other post: QUOTE:

They are cold cathode rings.

I have seen them used before on computer fans. check this out:

they run off a 12v power source:


you can even get them in different colors:


oh yah, and they are 80mm in diameter...just the right size for headlights! and they can be heated up (in an oven) and bent open wider if needed.

www.sunbeamtech.com is one company that sells them, i know there are alot of other places too though

install is simple, hook all of them up to a 12v power line and stick a switch in the line. open up the headlight cases and glue them in there. job done.

rings are $18.99 each from http://www.directron.com/ccfl.html

 

oh yah guys dont take any of this the wrong way. im know hes not really using cold cathodes, it was just another suggestion on how you can make them.

i have seen people make them by heating up and bending those clear plastic rods that you open/close window blinds with, and i have seen people make them from plastic tube from home deopt, and i have seen people use EL wire, and stuff like that. your rings do look alot like cold cathodes cold cathodes arent as bright durring the day though.

 

Actually that's not what they are. They are hand made, and if you knew anything about the inside of the es300, you'd know that the rings are different sizes. 80mm is 3.15". One of my rings is 3-3/4" outside diamter, and the other is 3-7/8". If you installed these rings, it would leave a huge gap at the bottom of the housing. My setup also uses an external power source, not just 12 volts + and -.

The blueness is just my camera. We are not using plastic. Once again, if you knew what the inside of the headlight looked like, you would know why one ring is more open the the other. But you don't. You don't even own a lexus. Thanks for your input.

i have tried leds, and el wire, both are no good. I have never seen ccfl. This is the only thing we found that lights up during the day.

 

It looks pretty cool. i was thinking about putting the angel eye affect when I had my headlights retrofitted.
Heres a picture of my headlights:

 

i think so.

 

I thought it looked like the old veilside bumper...i might be wrong.

 

I just took a look and your right....

 

Be nice. Fujikuro did not make any direct attacks on you or your product. Speaking of Products BTW, you should be very careful seeing how you are not an officially licensed CL Vendor, and what you are doing in effect could be construed as Market Research.

 

but he is making false claims about our product, how do i become a vendor?
