Thanks! That's the Knight Rider option, and he was demonstrating the concept on video. Mine will simply light up with the parking lights. Nothing flashy.
Notice how painting the surface underneath the orange reflector darkens and gives it a "smoked" look. It was a theory to be tested, and it looks pretty darn good!
Some of my friends were wondering about the projector turn signals. I think Nic opted for widely diffused lens, so we'll test this with my handmade LED bulbs.
I definitely wanted to keep it simple. Again, the LED strip is as tacky as it gets since I wanted to evolve the concept from the 350Z LED bumper lights. Plus, those dimples need to serve some sort of purpose.
What's different about these LED landing strips is the placement of the LED. I told Nic to make the LED forward facing and attach them to the back part of the dimple (illustrated in photoshopped example). The overall look is very stealth, and you have to face the car to see the full brightness of the LEDs.
Anyhow, if interested, please let Nic know that I sent you. That way he can pull up the mod concepts an apply it to your headlights. He is also aware of this thread as well. :-)
