Thanks for the compliment guys! I love doing stuff to these cars that is new and different. For those of you who were interested I got a photo of just the led lights on and no projectors. Realistically both the leds and projectors are so bright that when my brights are on (leds) the only difference in lighting is that I can see a bit further. The pictures do NOT by any means give these lights justice.

LED's only

LED's and projectors. Again these photos are not fair representatives of the light output. The brightness of the lights caused my camera to not be able to pick up distance as well as in the first pic. The main difference you can see is that with the projectors on I can see to the sides farther. There is a more dramatic difference in person

I'm wondering how the LED's will work on a LT1 bird as headlights. Would it be as if i'm driving with my high's on and will it be enough light output for high's when needed

LT1's only have the one headlamp on each side don't they? The LEDs could be fitted into them but unlike the projectors they are blinding to oncoming traffic. You would tick a lot of people off lol.

Very nice. I like the way the projector looks in there.

I know I've said it before but that matte white plastidip is seriously one of the coolest things I've ever seen on a T/A.

These LEDs aren't intended for low beam. You will be blinding oncoming traffic. These are basically AUX High Beam that he's used in place of the stock High Beam.

This looks great OP. I really need to do something like this to my ws6 cus im often driving in non-lit roads on the outskirt of town and my stock lights dont do much help. However, i dont want to blind oncoming traffic either due to cops being very strict in my city.

HID projectors are the way to go for you then. They put out a lot of light and they wont blind anyone if aimed properly.

Nice project man, it came out great. Main goal was the light output, but Im liking the way it looks as well. Ive never especially cared for the way the ta's look with the headlight doors up, the stock lamps just look to big. Much better.

Most-likely not. What model is that? What are the dimensions? Most that I've seen that look like that were too large and not good for a low beam anyway.
