Default **SC Headlights: Painted Silver/Blue LED projectors!**

Hey CL!

Originally I bought a really nice set of replacement low beam lights so I could put together my SuperMade lighting projects cleanly. After that was completed, I had the nice clean fluted lense covers, as well as my older set of SC headlights that were originally on my SC! I came up with this idea to use the newer lense covers, paint the inners of my original lights silver, and had CiNCity Designs add the blue LED projector lighting.

[The blue LED's are SEPARATE (wiring) from the actual projector low beam lighting btw! They have a switch so you can turn them off and on]

Here are the results!







I also did a clear lense set of high beams to match the clear SuperMade lowbeams;
What was left over from that project was a set of high beam projector inners, and also stock fluted high beam lenses. I am combining these and they are being polished up right now, painted the same color silver inside, along with the projector high beams having blue LED's added so it'll be a complete matching set!

If anything it'll be different from the norm, and should end up looking really clean, and still factory with fluted high and low lense covers on both. I'll post up pics of the high beams when finished!

Just a fun side project with left over parts!

You could add HID with a HID 9006 kit* (It's not a retrofit)

These are kind of like day time running lights, or if you were at a show you could flick them on, or set them up to pulse.
You could have your HID lights (or regular bulbs) on, and then flicker these blue LED lights to make some sort of crazy effects. Lots of possibilities since it's all separate.

Blue lights are illegal to have in most if not all states, just in case anyone was thinking of running them during the day or on the road.

Those look really sweet though.

Thanks guys. That brings up a good point. If you want to act like a cop you could get them flashing at separate times, and pull over your friends... But everyone in the SC community is FAR TOO CIVILIZED to pull a prank like that...

I'm not sure what I'm going to do with them, maybe just save them for a rainy day since I have the SuperMade set

Actually I got a ticket before in my last car for just running blue lights.
