But I was wondering about some random thoughts as I was watching this... (MRWorks feel free to answer as well if you have knowledge of these ideas)

1. How does it look when your INSIDE the car, looking forward? I don't imagine you do, but if you did, I wonder if the LED's would put out enough light to see in front of you?

2. Can you turn on the demon eyes at the same time as the headlights? If yes, how does that look, and if not, is that a matter of wiring, or the led's melting, or something else preventing it?

3. Is there anyway to have the demon eyes wired in along with the high beams hypothetically? Like say if I'm in my Z and I wanna say hey to a Z coming the other direction, could I 'blink' the demon eyes at him, or is it possible to wire them up somehow to be controlled individually through a switch in the cabin? I think what would be cool. lol

Hmmm...from inside the car....I'll do a small video tonight from inside the car looking out the window.

Also, if I turn on the Angel Eyes I can tell the difference.....it adds just a little bit more light on the road during driving, too. So, landing strips & Angel Eyes are good for daytime driving and for driving up until dusk I would say. Then the headlights would need to be turned on.....but you can still keep the Angel Eyes on, too.

Hopefully that was the answers you were looking/hoping for.
