    A Sunday well spent on the LS3 E30

    So I wanted to put some light behind my grill, the idea being that I could get it to shoot out the front a bit and look pretty mean. I didn't want it to look very Fast and the Furious and I think that it turned out well. I'm not quite done overall, come tomorrow they'll turn on/off with the fog-lights.

    If there's enough interest I'll write up a tutorial. All in all it took about $50 in supplies ($40 were in LED bits, if I didn't want one with colorshifting it'd be about $20). There is a color wheel to change to any color in the rainbow, but red/white are the only ones that I took any pictures of.

    Without further adieu:

    Red lights/headlights on, from the side.


    White lights/headlights off, from the side.


    White lights/headlights on, from the front.


    White lights/headlights off, from the front.


    Red lights/headlights on, from the front.


    Red lights/headlights off.

    So yeah, if people want a tutorial I can write one up, but I've still got a little more to do before I can really trust them entirely on the street. Just thought I'd share the new work. More interior bits to come!

        Fyi red lights are illegal to run up front while driving down the street.

                  At least you have lots of powers and epic noise to make up for it.

                      I thought about doing something like this before when I got bored one afternoon. Its kind of a cool thing to make your car special. Like the idea, but it doesn't seem to look right. Swap the lights for some fog machine purge valves through the kidneys. I always thought that might look cool lol.
