LEDs anyone thought of this?

Hi,

I've been on here a while but not really posted.

I was just wondering if anyone has considered trying to do an Aston style soft glow landing strip.

I've seen Oneighty ones but they look a little OTT to me.

Heres a photoshop:

and a link

Thoughts?

Cheers,

Dan

I have seen them with the L shaped cfl tubed, looks sharp. I prefer them over the "bmw" esque angel eyes.

I actually thought abt buying that tube looking leds over halo but couldnt decide,, i saw video of it and it look very bright

I rather do L shape on the bottom like the new lexus style

ONEighty used to do something similar to it, but they unfortunately don't do it anymore. Personally i think it is really neat and would've love to get it done.

i donno.... i like my Z without drls because the eyes focus on the angry eyebrows and not the entire car. the Z looks pretty when looked at in whole.

Yeah I'm not a fan of the halos, I just think it doesn't fit with the angles of the car. Looks just like it was the easiest option so thats whats been done.

I might just give it a go because I want something a bit different.

What have people done with their indicators (turn signals)?

Anyone running LEDs in there?

Cheers
